I wanted to build a desktop arcade cabinet that will use an Arduino Leonardo to control an iPad game. The Arduino will connect to the iPad via Bluetooth and control the game using simulated keyboard inputs. The enclosure will be laser cut out of MDF and resemble a classic arcade cabinet with a joystick and 2 large concave buttons.

I started getting interested in app development when Swift was announced. I thought “Its a new language, people are going to have to learn it so I might as well join them.” Well I learned a little bit on and off during my senior year of high school.
