W.O.P.R. Display
W.O.P.R Display is a modern take on the W.O.P.R. missile launch sequence from the 1983 movie War Games.
I love the movie War Games - It was one of my first glimpses into computers and how they could be connected, and I thought that the W.O.P.R. computer in the movie was amazing, with all of it's flashing LEDs and computer noises.
But most of all, I loved the intense missile unlock sequence in the movie. W.O.P.R. guessing the unlock code, while Matthew Broderick tries to teach it that no one ever wins. It was exciting and I always wanted to make a "replica" of that unlock sequence... and I finally did!

This repository has the final code for your W.O.P.R. kit. It's written specifically for an ESP32, though not specifically for the TinyPICO, but the kit is designed to have a TinyPICO and Audio Shield plug directly into it.
Where can I get one?
W.O.P.R is available on tindie https://www.tindie.com/products/seonr/wopr-missile-launch-code-display-kit/
Wired up for use with the TinyPICO ESP32 Development Board https://www.tinypico.com/shop/tinypico
