PIC "Tug Of War" Game by Bart Trepak

Everyday Practical Electronics, February 2004

What a great introduction to using PIC microcontrollers!
Forget teams of athletic (or not) players trying to drag their
opponents over the line with a rope, our electronic version uses
PIC power instead, and needs a lot less exertion!

Very simple to build, using a PIC 16F84 and a row of ten l.e.d.s,
two players pit their reaction times against each other, to see
which player can press the button first. After winning five games,
the project plays a tune in honour of the champion!
