Build and code a game that will test your reflexes.
Can you beat the Wheldon Brothers? Or better yet, can you beat a fellow student? In this mission, students will build and code an LED to light up at a random time and then determine who can press their button the fastest.

Troubleshooting Tips
Is the button press not registering?
Look at the Digital View when you press the button while the code runs. If you see no change, push the button into the breadboard forcefully (but carefully) to make sure the leads connect with the rails on the breadboard.

What does “LOW when pulled UP” mean?
This generally refers to pull-up or pull-down resistor circuits. In this case, this allows the signal to be rounded UP to the binary TRUE when the button is pushed, and the circuit is complete.
