TileToy

TileToy is a modular, electronic game prototype for tangible LED game tiles. TileToy brings the flexibility inherent in digital software to a physical tile that people can touch and interact with. By arranging the electronic tiles, players can engage themselves in various kinds of game play, ranging from fast-paced arcade style games to puzzle an learning games.

TileToy is an open project. Both the source code and the hardware will be made available via open licenses. This will allow anyone interested to create their own applications and games and feed these back into the community hopefully to spark innovation further. It may even lead to new projects that branch off to make new version of TileToy based on the original hardware.

This looks like such fun!!! I want one!

It will be interesting to see what develops out of this little gadget.

That's very cool. The video helps you see the possibilites here.

I like spatial recognition games. I took the online "tickle me IQ test" a few months back and it had a bunch of spatial recognition questions on it.

It doesn't play for me in here. It's that friggin' WMP codec that I have no way of knowing where to find that's keeping it from working in here. Plays in qt on the website for me.

*sigh* Yeah, I would like that. Need to get Linux first. Can't download it from here, though.
