I've giving it a try, but have some questions. The buttons have been given each it's own I/O pins. But you say vanepp: a pull up resister to +5V I have a resistor that has 10ohm, is that enough? And...

Yes (although its a little small for old eyes :-)) the schematic for the switches looks correct. A 10 ohm pull up resistor would technically work but it will draw too much current. A 1k or even 10K...

Yes, the grid in Inkscape is prone to weirdness. It is happy enough (usually) with SVG created in Inkscape, but gets confused by ones from other sources. The grid scale can end up wildly off, I do not...

I forgot to mention that I do have a battery pack that can run on either 7.4V or 12V and has (if I remember correctly) 5000 mAh capacity. Should be plenty for a night out, don't you think?
