 In the quiet of a spare room, a world is being pieced together. Beneath the soft glow of tealights and the hum of imagination, a **little duckling (un petit caneton)** prepares to prove that the forest is not a place to fear, but a place to call home. In the quiet of a spare room, a world is being pieced together.

 The game logic is powered by a cost-effective PIC microcontroller (such as the PIC16F series). These chips offer enough I/O ports to manage the LED grid and sensor inputs from the conductive board. The game logic is powered by a cost-effective PIC microcontroller (such as the PIC16F series).
