YouTuber Steve Mould has repurposed a sophisticated medical research device for a wildly creative purpose: playing classic video games. Using a technology called electrowetting, the device allows him to control individual droplets of water on a grid, turning them into living pixels. After consulting the inventor and coding with an AI assistant, he successfully programmed playable versions of Snake and Pac-Man on the unique liquid screen.
Playing Snake on a Screen Made of Water
In a stunning fusion of science and nostalgia, a creator built video games where the pixels are not on a screen—they are actual, controllable droplets of water.
