-------
IRL day 09/11/2025
Decorated some of my arcade
Rewired the jump button to merge functions with the 'Enter' key
Fixed a bug involving the movement/forward joystick not moving (error ended up being a ripped joystick cable, I 'fixed' it with a wire)
-------
IRL day 08/11/2025
Soldered some broken wires
Rewired all the GPIO pins again because the joystick was turning in the wrong direction
Re/uploaded a .arm64 file to my game with updated keybinds/Input Map to reflect the changes made on the rPi5
-------
IRL day 07/11/2025
Hastily connected wood parts together
Got game running on the rPi5
Deconstructed the arcade to transport to the venue
-------
IRL day 06/11/2025
Acquired different mechanical parts for the rPi5
Soldered cables to the joysticks and various buttons
Connected speakers and got the rPi5 running on the monitor
