A regular computer can draw red and orange squares and accept inputs from buttons too. If you really want to do a hardware project, get an Arduino, but you can easily play with ideas like this without any hardware. And you won't have to write your code in C.

Yeah, but it looks a lot cooler when the orange squares real.

Well, I am a C coder at heart and worked on embedded systems not so long ago. This would be right up my alley as a hardware project :)

The arduino's got so many built in methods via Wiring that coding's really not bad. Shockingly easy at times..
