Final Project Idea: Memory Game
For my final project, I want to create a memory game that uses LED lights to create a pattern that the player has to repeat in order to win the game. This concept sounds pretty simple, but there are many things I want to incorporate into the game that will give player more choices and a better experience while playing. Also this was somewhat inspired by the arcade tour we were given last week, because I thought it would be fun to make my own game, after viewing all of the cool arcade games! :)
This is a list of all of the things I plan to include in the game/code (these are not final, and might not make it to the end project) :
- Different levels that the player can choose. (ex. easy, medium, & hard) (not exactly sure how I would code this yet but I really want to include it!)
- Make each level a little harder no matter what difficulty the player chooses. (maybe speed up the lights or just make the game longer.)
- An LCD screen in the corner of the enclosure that displays your score. (Also thinking about including a high score.)
- A button that restarts the game and clears your current score.
- A piezo that makes a different sound for each LED light
I am going to start by building the game first (using the breadboard and Arduino) and then create the code for the game. This should take me a little while considering all of the factors I want to include in this game. Once I am done with the code, I am going to create a prototype enclosure out of cardboard and then take the measurements from that to make a final 3D printed enclosure. Then, just for decor purposes, it would be nice to include the words “Memory Game” on the enclosure using stickers or something else. (As of now, I don’t need to buy any materials except maybe more filament for the enclosure.)
