Introduction
This is an game made from Arduino LEDs.
Basically, you have five lives.
The LEDs would lit up one by one.
The whole purpose of this game is to press the button when the lights reach the middle one.
If you succeed, you 'level up', the middle light would blink twice to show you got it.
If you fail, you 'lose a life'
The more you 'level up', the faster the lights gets.
If your life reaches zero, the LED which you pressed wrong and the first LED would light up for a while, indicating a 'Game Over', then the game restarts.
Step 1: Prepare Your Supplies
- Arduino uno
- Breadboard
- Usb line
- 10 jumper wires
- 9 LEDs
- 9 resistors
- A button
Step 2: Connecting It Up
It kind of looks like the picture above.
Basically...
LED1 -(connects to)> Pin2
LED2 -(connects to)> Pin3
LED3 -(connects to)> Pin4
LED4 -(connects to)> Pin5
LED5 -(connects to)> Pin6
LED6 -(connects to)> Pin7
LED7 -(connects to)> Pin8
LED8 -(connects to)> Pin9
LED9 -(connects to)> Pin10
Button -(connects to)> Pin13
Don't forget to connect GND to the ground rail
Step 3: Put in the Code
The code could be seen here :
Step 4: Preparing to Make the Exterior
This is the suggested items you should prepare:
- A little box, approximately the size of your Arduino.
- Some colored paper
- Color pencils and marker to draw
- You could prepare a utility knife to cut out the shape
- Piece of plastic
- Tape
Step 5: Cutting Out Spaces and Decorations
- Cut out nine little spaces to put LEDs
- Cut out a circle to place the button
- Cut out a little square at the sides (so you could connect the usb line)
- Draw on the front
- Stick color paper to the side to cover up the box
Step 6: Putting It All Together
- Place in the LED lights
- Tape piece of almost-transparent plastic over the LEDs
- Place in the button
- Place Arduino in box
- Connect everything up
Step 7: Finish!
Close the cover up, and connect the usb line.
Run the code, try if it works or not.
If you 'Lose a Life' , gets an 'Game Over', or 'Levels up' you could see it in the Serial Prints
Play till the light go so fast you cannot see which one is actually moving!
Enjoy!
