Octopus Game @octopusgame.bsky.social · 10d

Hey @saintcon.bsky.social

👀

www.saintcon.org/contests/oct...

A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design graphic showing two layers of the same board side-by-side. The board is square with four circular gold/yellow pads on each corner.

Left side (Art/Silkscreen Layer): A Yin and Yang symbol made of a red and white pattern is centered. Both the red and white sections contain an outline of an octopus in a muted gold/brown color. The background is a solid muted gold/brown color with the word "OCTO" faintly repeated.

Right side (Circuit Layer): The red circular shape represents a copper trace, with component footprints shown in white. These footprints include:

Two white squares labeled "RED" and "WHITE" (likely for LEDs).

Two resistors labeled 62Ω and 51Ω.

The circuit traces connect the components to the four corner pads. The octopus design is also visible as part of the silkscreen layer, centered beneath the components.
