3.1.13 GAME - 10 Second
===========================
Introduction
-------------------
Next, follow me to make a game device to challenge your concentration.
Tie the tilt switch to a stick to make a magic wand. Shake the wand, the
4-digit segment display will start counting, shake again will let it
stop counting. If you succeed in keeping the displayed count at
**10.00**, then you win. You can play the game with your friends to see
who is the time wizard.
Required Components
------------------------------
In this project, we need the following components.

Experimental Procedures
---------------------------------
**Step 1**: Build the circuit.
.. image:: ../python_pi5/img/4.1.18_game_10_second_circuit.png
**Step 2**: Go to the folder of the code.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
cd ~/davinci-kit-for-raspberry-pi/python-pi5
**Step 3**: Run the executable file.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
sudo python3 3.1.13_GAME_10Second.py
Shake the wand, the 4-digit segment display will start counting, shake
again will let it stop counting. If you succeed in keeping the displayed
count at **10.00**, then you win. Shake it one more time to start the
next round of the game.
.. warning::
If there is an error prompt ``RuntimeError: Cannot determine SOC peripheral base address``, please refer to :ref:`faq_soc`
**Code**
.. note::
You can **Modify/Reset/Copy/Run/Stop** the code below. But before that, you need to go to source code path like ``davinci-kit-for-raspberry-pi/python-pi5``. After modifying the code, you can run it directly to see the effect.

**Code Explanation**
#. The script begins by importing necessary modules. The ``gpiozero`` library is used for interfacing with GPIO devices like buttons, and ``time`` and ``threading`` modules may be used for handling timing-related tasks or concurrent operations.
