Scaffolding: Progress Review

 For my controller, I decided to go with one of my first ideas which was using a pair of scooter handlebars to rotate a sensor and control the player in the game Paperboy for the NES. I liked this idea and decided to pursue it because the design of the controller emulates the gameplay of Paperboy, which involves the main character riding down the street and delivering newspapers to certain houses. The main way this controller will function involves the rotation of the handlebars as well as the bell attached to the top of the handles. An Adafruit gyrometer will be attached to the stem of the handlebars and will rotate as the player turns left and right, thus sending rotational information to the Circuit Playground which will control the player in-game. The bell will be rung and activate the sound sensor on the Circuit Playground, which will then cause the player to throw a newspaper.
