RGB LED game shield for arduino

RGB LED game shield for arduino
I was wondering why there aren't a lot of games made by the arduino, I mean I found a page of them, but it wasn't tht many. So I decided I should try to make one of my own!

To play this game, you have to match the random color displayed by one of the rgb leds by using 3 sliding potentiometers. Then, you press a button and you are told whether you were right or not. There are 2 levels, easy and  hard, and a reset button so you can go to a new color after you win.

That's the main basis of my project, and I hope you enjoy seeing how I made it.

Can make a schematic like on eagle a lot of people think it is easier to read off of that instead of the one you made

Did you use common anode or cathode for your rgb leds?

looks fun!  would the gameplay change much if you were to use 5k sliders instead of 10k?
