Scrapeboard Builder's Wiki
==========================
Introduction
------------
![demo](https://scrape.nugget.fun/www/Scrapeboard_Gameplay_Demo_picture_in_picture.webp)
Scrapeboard is an arcade 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 physical matches against a series of goons. The object of each match is to perform combinations of foot moves on a sliding board as quickly as possible 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.

Requirements
------------
The manual is intended for a general audience. There are steps that involve beginner level electronics and wood working. The instructions assume basic understanding about how to connect components when using the Arduino. There are steps that require the use of a drill.
There is a significant time investment to consider, from reading the manual and sourcing the supplies, to building the software, electronics, and hardware. Multiple days should be set aside if building a system from start to finish.
License
-------
The code, electronics, assets, and manual are released with open licensing, so the finished system can be used personally, for example in a player's garage or basement, or commercially, 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. See [LICENSE.txt](../../raw/branch/main/LICENSE.txt) for details.
