Breakout - Video game for Novation Launchpad Pro
A basic version of Breakout) the 1976 video game for the Novation Launchpad Pro.
The project was created as part of an inhouse hackathon at Agile Mobile Revolution (AMR) by 7P in November 2019.
You may want to watch a live-stream of its creation on Twitch but be aware it’s ~20h long XD.
Beware that this firmware is ONLY available for and compatible with the Launchpad PRO!
These instructions will get your copy of the project up and running on your local machine.
The project was developed on macOS. While it’s available for more than one platform I will not describe setup on other platforms.
