Description
This is a simple puzzle game that is constructed by a LCD and a touch pad controller.Once you feel bored when you are taking trolly from west campus to east campus, when you taking subway to your home, this is a good choice. The secret to win the game is depended on how fast your brain to process the image showed on the screen and send command to your finger to take the action precisely. After you keep playing this game for short period of time, you will find out that your responding time is getting much faster, and your brain is running faster and better.
How to play
Touch twice on the keypad with a circle to make it disappear, and touch once on the keypad with a filed circle to make it disappera. When all the circles dis appear, then the screen displays:"You win!! Reset the game." And a new pattern shows on the uLCD.
Component
1. LCD
A LCD display is used to show the circles that appear and disappear on the screen.
2. Touchpad
A fast responding touchpad is used to let users to kill the circles that appear on the LCD screen. How good you can perform in the game is depends on how fast your finger hit the right position on the touchpad.

Puzzle Gameplay on a laptop using touchpad which needs a good LCD and a touchpad controller. I have used it but my laptop is not sufficient for playing a game and there is a problem arise in touchpad in my laptop. Someone suggest me to check it https://babasupport.org/hp/hp-laptop-touchpad-not-working/ for your solution. They make it simple to work on my laptop
