The polarity of the traces running to that LED should now be swapped, and
your LED should be lighting up.

Your Binary Blaster game is re-programmable with Arduino. This means
that you can change the rules of the game, add more features, or turn it into
a completely different project. For more information about how to re-
program using Arduino, check out this following tutorial:
