You have reached chapter 3. Here we will look deeper into the realm of sensors. You will learn a lot in this chapter about using a touch sensor to create cool projects.

This chapter is divided into three sections. We will start by learning the basics of Processing. Then we will use the number touch pad and the processing software to create a tic-tac-toe (X's & O's) game. And, in the final section, we will use the touch pad to recognize stroke patterns and different alphabets and display them on the screen.
