Introduction We decided to create a virtual archery game for our ECE 4760 final project. This game consists of an ATmega1284P microcontroller, a TV for display, and multiple pieces of hardware. All of these devices communicate together to simulate a three-round game of archery with a target that is 20 feet away from the user. […]

Introduction Many of the simpler electronic games of the past decade can be easily programmed on the AVR microcontrollers we are using this semester, using only the lights and switches available on the evaluation boards. For our final project we programmed the game Simon using the AT90S8535 microcontroller chip and corresponding evaluation board. This is

Introduction For our final project, we used an Atmel AT90S8535 microprocessor to create a hangman game. The letters are displayed on a 16-character LCD, and are input (“guessed”) using a 16-button keypad. The 8 LED’s on the Atmel development board are used as our “hanging man” – one lights up for each wrong guess. We

Soundbyte If you ever thought you couldnt control things with your eyes, think again heres the game Snake that allows 4 modes of multi-level game play with buttons or with your eyes, using electro-ocular potential. Project Summary While brainstorming for a 476 final project that would be biomedical engineering-related, we stumbled upon the idea of

Introduction: Our final project code calls for the implementation of an amusement game often bannered as “Test-Your-Strength” or less accurately (but more commonly) known as “Whack-a-Mole.” Our machine is in essence a miniturized version of what can be found in most theme parks across the world. Its construction involves a spring load plastic cap to act as

Introduction Sound byte For our final project, we are redesigning the classic battleship game to suit the needs of engineers. We are removing the need for communication, but keeping the feel of battleship. So what are we really doing? Instead of having engineers mumble battleship attacks, all communication is handled by two micro controllers, one

Introduction: The basis of this project is to create the game fish on the Atmel board. In the game fish, the big fish eat the small fish, so your job is to eat the fish smaller than you while not getting eaten by those bigger than you. You eat a fish by moving close enough

Introduction What is Snipertag? Snipertag is a variation upon the very popular ‘Lasertag’ game. In 1986, a company called Worlds of Wonder came up with the idea for a combat game that worked around a set of commercially produced toy laser guns and sensors. As of recently, many companies have picked up were Worlds of

Adventures in TV land The goal of this project was to play a simple game outputted to a television via direct NTSC signal generation into a composite video input of a television. Obviously, the outputting of material to a television is the most challenging part of this project (and not one to be taken lightly).

A 4-bit gray-scale video system demonstrated by a multiplayer game Our project displays a 128-by-96-pixel image in 4-bit gray-scale (16 intensities) by using a memory-map compression scheme. The equivalent uncompressed display would require 6-KB of memory (128 96 pixels 4 bits/pixel = 6,144 bytes), but we manage to achieve this in less than 2-KB of
