When the past and the present collide! This is a quick wiring test of some Raspberry Pi Pico powered Spacewar! controllers I'm making for an upcoming exhibition at the Chicago Gamespace.

The left stick rotates your ship ("the wedge"), the right stick controls thrust (up) and hyperspace (down), while the button fires torpedoes.
