Trump Punch Verion 2: Hardware Build for Arcade Cabinet

Trump Punch is a computer game and arcade machine, it is intended as a stress release aid for liberal newshounds fed up with the antics of those in political office. The current version (for rather obvious reasons) comes with a large, smug Donald Trump face that’s just ripe for the punching. In the spirit of bipartisanship, the  two button classic arcade style controller allows the user “left” and “right” punching abilities.


The original gameplay was via p5 and arduino with an adafruit feather. It was a one screen interaction with only the left and right fists moving vertically to collide with a stationary Trump. The Trump face PNG would then swap on collision. 

Version 2:

- Created in Gamemaker Studio

- Intro screen, Gameplay, Game over screen

- Fist Functionality via joystick and arcade buttons

- Trump moves, tracks player movement

- Added music and crowd sounds

- Animated signs in the crowd

- “Bam” “Pow” animations on collide

- Additional Trump “beat up” face
