Tiny Tapeout: Can You Count Binary?
Module: tt_um_dip_switch_game_TobiasPfaffeneder
Can You Count Binary is a logic game designed for the Tiny Tapeout platform.
It runs entirely on the Tiny Tapeout PCB — no external hardware required!
Your goal is simple: convert decimal numbers displayed on the seven-segment display into their binary equivalents using the onboard DIP switches.
But hurry up - your time is limited, and the game gets faster as you play!
▶️ How to Play
- Power up your Tiny Tapeout PCB with this module loaded.
- To start the game, bring all DIP switches except the 8th one in the OFF position.
- A random 8-bit number appears on the seven-segment display.
- The number is always shown as three digits (e.g.
123,045,007, ...).
- The number is always shown as three digits (e.g.
- Convert the decimal number to binary and enter it using the DIP switches:
- Switch 8 = Least Significant Bit (2⁰)
- Switch 1 = Most Significant Bit (2⁷)
- If your input is correct, a new random number will be displayed.
- Be quick! You start with 30 seconds per number, and the timer gets shorter as the game progresses.
- If the timer runs out before you enter the correct value, the game ends.
- When the game is over, your final score will be shown on the display.
