Arduino Fan Builds the World’s Smallest Space Invaders Game
Somehow an Arduino hobbyist built a Space Invaders arcade game that was just 3.1 inches tall. A video on YouTube proudly proclaimed it “the smallest fully-functional Space Invaders model in the world.”
“Some years ago, I bought a couple of these very cheap I2C OLED screens, just to play with,” Cranch said in the video about his Space Invaders project.
At this point, Cranch was down to just 512 bytes of memory to work with — for implementing the entire game of Space Invaders.
Instead, he recalled that Space Invaders “was such a classic. An iconic game that wowed people and pushed the boundaries of 1970s hardware.”
