Four German Computer Science students fulfilled every gamer's dream this week by playing their favourite games at large scale on the facade of their university's main building. <br /> <br />The young scientists transformed the front of the Christian Albrechts University's 14-floor main building into a big light show and were able to play Tetris, Breakout, Snake and Pong. <br /> <br />The project, called Project Lighthouse, included 57,000 LED lights placed on the 392 windows of the facade. <br /> <br />Many would think that the amount of lights would increase the power consumption, but at maximum brightness the system would only consume 56.5 kilowatt hours during the scheduled four-hour use per day, according to the university. <br /> <br />At a price of 20 cents per hour, the total amount used would be around 11.25 euro. <br /> <br />More than 5,000 hours were needed to complete the project, which the university contributed to with 30,000 euros provided by different sponsors.
