PPGC: Plug and Play Game Controller

The PPGC! Is a fully integrated gaming console and controller contained in a single enclosure. The PPGC! is a light-weight and portable gaming device that allows the user to plug into any HDMI capable display and enjoy playing the game. The device has a single board computer that hosts an original two-dimensional, top-down game with an easy to navigate user interface. The game is controlled by the on-board MCU which is connected to five push buttons and two joysticks to control the action on screen. There are also premium hardware features such as vibration motors to give haptic feedback to the user as well as the use of an accelerometer that controls a separate Marble Maze-style game. The device is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer battery which is connected to the system by a dedicated power supply board, which allows recharging via USB. All the components of the PPGC fit into a premade enclosure that allows for easy access to each component and lends itself to easy portability of the entire system.
