Hey Nortant, it’s been 5 months since your post so perhaps the answer is – NO.
The Science Club was an after school meeting of upper primary school (mainly) students from Encounter Lutheran College, Investigator College and Port Elliot Primary. We have not run since term 4 2017 due to my other committments but would love to get it up and running one day.
I will take over the monitoring of this forum so hopefully respond in a more timely manner next time!

This was good demo code to test the basics of Infra Red tagging. It’s now 4 months on in Sept 2017 and Sccience Club LaserTag has new code in the File Downloads. Have a look in Projects to see our progress.
Copy and Paste the code into a new Arduino sketch.
It is based on the DuinoTag Instructable here.
It uses pins:
2 for IR receive sensor input,
3 for IR LED sender output,
4 for the trigger button input,
12 for a buzzer output – to make simple beep noises
13 for an LED to show activityShould be enough to get something working.
Then modify the code to use a sound module/amplifier/1000W subwoofer, add game modes, scoring etc..James has a WTV020-SD-16P sound player module and FAT formatted 22Gb MicroSD card with some example .ad4 sound files and the first thing is to get it to work with an Arduino UNO.
This is a link to a simple connection diagram and instructions:
WTV020 Arduino Example 1
There is a link to the Arduino library you will need and some sample Arduino code.An example with good ideas of an Arduino Laser Tag gun is given here.
They use a different Arduino but the series of 3 articles by Duane O’Brien gives almost everything you need to make a system with a few mods for the Arduino UNO and a sound module for realistic game play.Defining the “Game Play” is important. Here is an example of setting the rules and how the game will work. Its about 1/3 the way down under a heading “Designing the ‘Duino tag gun'”
