Scrapeboard is an alternative controller game that uses a skateboard deck and metal floor pads for input. In the game, the player is a lizard who is given a skatedeck by Tony Hawk and challenged to swords matches with a series of goons. The object of each match is to perform combinations of moves displayed on screen as quickly as possible.
Scrapeboard is an arcade game that uses a skateboard deck and metal floor pads. In the game, the player is a lizard who is given a skatedeck by Tony Hawk and challenged to physical matches against a series of goons. The object of each match is to perform combinations of foot moves on a sliding board as they are displayed on screen.
The game is available to play at select game conventions and festivals, but it is also a D.I.Y. project that is not difficult to reproduce. This manual covers how to build a full Scrapeboard system. It includes how to install and test the software, how to build the electronics, and how to fabricate a controller using a skateboard deck, metal pads, and plywood.

Purpose
-------
The builder's manual was created so players could build Scrapeboard on their own and challenge themselves and friends outside of events and host their own events. It is released with open licensing, so the finished system can be used for personal use, for example in a player's garage or basement, or commercial, like in an arcade or bar. It is also licensed to be modified, so the controller can be used for other games, including custom ones. With more Scrapeboard systems, whether built by the core team or other members of the community, there can be more access to Scrapeboard outside of occasional events.

Scrapeboard started in 2017 as a side project of the STORE 2 exhibition at [Babycastles](https://babycastles.com), which Frank, Blake, and Clement, worked on, along with curator Mushbuh and a team of volunteers. The team received a donation of a signed skatedeck from Tony Hawk to be added to the exhibition. After the exhibition, in preparation for [MAGFest](https://super.magfest.org) 2018, Frank and Blake created Scrapeboard so they could use the skatedeck as a game controller.

The original prototype was created using the signed skatedeck, cardboard, aluminum foil, copper tape, and a [Makey Makey](https://makeymakey.com). The skatedeck was turned into a conductive device by applying copper tape to the bottom of the deck and placing it on a platform made of cardboard and layered aluminum foil. In the center of the platform was a cross section of aluminum foil, separated by bare cardboard and painter's tape from four other sections of aluminum foil outside the cross section. The four outside sections and cross section were connected to the Makey Makey with alligator clips. This served as a proof of concept for the game and was even able to be used for a few events.

The next version of Scrapeboard used four aluminum street signs, a rug, an aluminum sheet, and an Arduino. Four rectangles were cut into the rug to frame the aluminum signs, which were taped to the bottom of the rug with carpet tape. The aluminum sheet was drilled into the bottom of the signed skatedeck. The Arduino circuit was designed using pull-up resistors and a program loop which turned each input low and tested for a connection with the other inputs, so the circuit wouldn't require a ground connection anymore. This version was used for many events but required a lot of repair and maintenance before and after each event.

A newer model was made in preparation for [GDC](https://gdconf.com) 2022, using wood, aluminum street signs, steel anchor rings, and the same Arduino circuit. The aluminum street signs were drilled into four pieces of wood which were bracketed together on the underside. The steel anchor rings were fastened to the underside of the skatedeck using machine screws. By the end of 2022, this version had been refined enough to last through multiple events without needing repair, a significant milestone for the project because it opened up the possibility of the game being able to run without constant supervision.

If using plywood, a router may be used to carve channels for insetting the metal plates, brackets, inner screws, and wiring. These channels can help with portability and durability, but they are not necessary. Steps for doing this are included, but they are marked as optional.
The electronics are assumed to be installed in front of the platform, near where the screen is. If installing the electronics behind the platform, adjust wire lengths and wire channel orientations as necessary.

### Terminology
To avoid confusion between similar parts, the following terms are used:
* *Platform*: the entire floor device, containing four panels
* *Platform*: all four panels
* *Panel*: a single piece of the four panel platform, a piece of wood with a single metal plate attached
* *Plate*: the metal part of the panel by itself
* *Pad*: one of the two metal anchor rings on the underside of the scrapeboard
