During this session, we started working on new modules, such as the joystick. Personally, I find the joystick module very amusing to imagine, but when it comes to playing, it seems complicated, which is, in reality, quite amusing. The module consists of a joystick and a ring LED. As good engineers, we thought that the ring LED, when certain LEDs were on and others off, could resemble binary code. Don't ask me how we came up with that. So, we envisioned a module composed of a ring LED and a joystick, and to successfully complete the module, players will need to find the right sequence of actions based on the ring LED. For now, we are making good progress on it.

Regarding the LCD screen and the issue with special characters, we came up with the idea of creating a library with all the characters. This way, when we need a character in the code, we just take it from the library. The LCD module is considered finished; it's a wrap for it (totally false, as it will also need to be integrated into the final games).
