Introduction
Turn your ESP32 into an interactive Dino Runner Game controlled by its physical BOOT button. The ESP32 creates its own Wi-Fi network and hosts the game in a web browser. With WebSocket communication, animated graphics, obstacles, scoring, and increasing difficulty, this project is a fun way to explore the combination of ESP32 hardware and web-based gaming.
