(x2 for PvP mode + 16 wires for sharing inputs + 2 wires for syncing devices + 1 wire for sharing ground)
- MBED LPC1768
- 5 way tactile switch
- uLCD-144-G2
- 4 push buttons
- microSD Transflash Breakout
- TRRS 3.5mm Jack Breakout
- Mini audio jack speaker
- ~1uF capacitor (anything close will work)
- one 10kΩ resistor
- one 1kΩ resistor
Audio Jack Breakout Schematic:
Default Run:
- To run this project successfully using the default implementation, ensure the wiring and SD card requirements are met
- Then just drag and drop the P2-2.bin file onto an MBED LPC1768 and power cycle to start running the game
General Wiring:
- Pin numbers for all hardware components are provided in hardware.cpp
- Any pins marked for the opponent are not necessary for single-player modes
- This project deviates from the course's provided schematic, however, alternative pin configurations are provided in the comments that will work with a circuit built to the provided schematic
SD Card Files:
- All contents of sd-card-files must be flashed to the SD card for the game to actually run
- Must include the Users directory to successfully log in, register, and save user data
- All WAVE files must be 11kHz sample rate, mono channel, 16-bit
- To add, swap, or remove song tracks flash new WAVE files in the required format and change the file names in gameMusic.hpp
- If adding or removing song tracks, update loop conditions for "playNextTrack" and "playPrevTrack"
Game Background:
- To change the game background, replace the pixel values in gameBackground.hpp with pixel values of another image
- Pixel array must be a 1D array of size 128x128 and pixel values must be in hex RGB form
- Python code for converting images to C arrays provided in tools
PvP Mode:
- Must have a shared ground between the two devices otherwise you'll get undefined behavior
- Having ~20 additional wires increases the chance of hardware issues, check everything is securely connected and not shorting something else if the game won't start
Notable Features:
- Animated sprites
- Movement algorithms
- Guided projectiles
- Username and password login
- Persistent user data
- Concurrent audio
- Audio mixing
- Persistent game background
- Custom text rendering
- PvP mode with two game consoles
