Arduino Nano Game Console Kit: Build Snake, Pong & Tetris
Build Your Own Palm-Sized Game Console with Arduino Nano and OLED
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine holding a fully functional retro game console in the palm of your hand, running classics like Snake, Pong, and Tetris, all powered by an Arduino Nano and a crisp OLED display. This kit turns that imagination into a 4-5 hour build, equipping you with every component, a custom 3D-printed case, and an AI companion that walks you through each step. Whether you're sharpening soldering skills or diving into embedded game programming, you'll craft a portable device that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a handheld console with four tactile buttons, a 0.96-inch OLED screen, and a rechargeable LiPo battery-perfect for on-the-go gaming. The pre-loaded code (customizable) brings the timeless triad of games to life, and the compact 3D-printed enclosure makes it pocket-ready. This isn't just a project; it's a gateway to understanding how game engines work on microcontrollers.
What You'll Learn
- Program Arduino Nano using the Arduino IDE to control an OLED display via I2C
- Implement game logic and state machines for Snake, Pong, and Tetris
- Debounce tactile button inputs for responsive and reliable control
- Power your project with a LiPo battery and TP4056 charging module for true portability

Who This Kit Is For
If you're a CBSE Class 11-12 student hunting for a standout physics or computer science project, an engineering undergraduate (B.Tech ECE/EEE) wanting hands-on experience with microcontrollers, or a participant in the Smart India Hackathon building portable embedded systems, this kit delivers. ATL Tinkering Labs will find it ideal for intermediate workshops, while hobbyists at IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS can use it to prototype game concepts.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access your AI build companion, trained on this exact project. If you need human backup, reach out via WhatsApp or email and our team will respond within 24 hours.
Does this kit require soldering?
Yes - the kit includes a soldering iron and solder wire. You'll mount components onto prototype boards, which is a core skill for intermediate makers. Clear visual guides from the AI companion make the process manageable.
Can I add more games or modify the code?
Absolutely. The Arduino Nano is fully programmable. The AI companion provides code walkthroughs, and you can expand the game library by writing custom logic for Space Invaders, Maze, or other retro titles.
Is the 3D-printed case sturdy enough for daily use?
The case is printed in PLA with durable 2mm walls, designed to withstand regular handling. It snaps together securely, and files are open-source if you want to print spares or custom colors.
Nano with OLED and four buttons runs Snake, Pong and Tetris. LiPo powered. Fits in palm.
