Figure 22—The game controller communicates with a Chrome app.
Creating the Game
At this point you know enough about Chrome apps and controlling a motion-
sensing game controller to create an entertaining video game. Writing a video
game isn’t directly related to programming the Arduino. Still, it’ll show you
some techniques you can use in other projects, and it’ll give you a much
better understanding of how the integration of hardware and software works.
Before you dive into the code, download it from the book’s website

and play
the game. Doing so will help you find your way through the code much easier.
When programming a browser game, you usually start with its HTML code.
In our case it looks like this:
BrowserGame/Arduinoid/main.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/arduinoid.css"/>
<title>Arduinoid</title>
