What happened
[Tolko] wanted to encourage kids to have some physical activity, but noted that they only wanted to play games. That led to BlobJump , a Raspberry Pi-based game sort of like the famous dinosaur runner game.
Your body — or more precisely, a belt worn on your body — is the controller. Your jumping and ducking make your on-screen avatar do the same thing.
Each belt contains an ESP32-C3, an MPU-6050, and enough rechargeable battery to make it all work. Even so, it looks like a fun game.
