Jordy Moos is said to have spent a total of 100 hours to create the game. Speaking to a media publication, the 31-year-old engineer said he came up with the idea last year, but got to work creating the system in February. The game is controlled and played through a PlayStation 4 controller.

Jordy Moos took 100 hours to build the game

Moos explained that he took 100 long hours to create it mainly because most of the hardware work was new for him. He had to do a lot of research and had a lot of time spend trying things, he added. One of the reasons why the Dutch engineer took so long was his cat who would constantly mess his wires, he told. 

In order to make the systems work, the LEDs need to stay in their fixed position and are not allowed to move. There is also a need for a camera for the setup which his cat threw off the table, Moos added. Jordy finally cracked it after trial and error with a few different methods and programs. He has already created a two-player version of the game and is planning to build a noughts and crosses game.
