The red and green leds

For this you can either use 3 green leds and 3 red leds which are used to display if you won the game or lost it, but you can also do what I did and use 3 red/green leds.

The pc board

Make sure the pc board is large enough to cover the entire arduino, as some pieces are too small and will not fit all the parts or pins on the arduino.

Resistors

I used 100 ohms on the blue and green of the rgb leds and 150 ohm on the red but that can change depending on your leds. I used 150 ohm on my red/green leds but thaat can change for yours too. The reset button has one 100 ohm resistor and the "checking button" has a 10k and a 100 ohm resistor.

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