Weekend project: Etch-a-Sketch
Another Weekend Project.
This time I tried to create a web version of the original Etch-a-Sketch, created in the 60s and still famous today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etch_A_Sketch
I find it pretty interesting because:
- It's essentially a plotter with two inputs, one for horizontal movement, and one for vertical.
- Althought it appears to have the simplest input controls possible, it's almost impossible to draw anything other than straight lines. There might be a moral here about engineers, designers and User Experience, but I'll leave it to you.
- It doesn't need batteries or any other power source, except
magicmagnets.
