ElBanquos_1D_pong

A 1D Pong game implemented with an arduino and neopixles

Motivation

Fun

I have seen multiple implementations of 1D pong and want to collect the best ideas into one game.

• Neopixel stripe as display
• Special gimmicks (Power Pills, Labyrinths, Barriers or life)

  Software engeneering

  In my other arduino projects I already startet to split up the code into core function - input management - output management. I wanted to use this project to give that approach a harder push. The main goals are:

• see if decoupling is really helping in a more complex application
• establish some standard patterns
• break down the logic of the core into useful peaces to
  • keep things readable (reduce the amount of “if” statement hierarchies)
  • reduce the possibility of “interference”
  • get a robust foundation for extending functionality

Roadmap / Ideas

MK 1 - The tiny prototype

Initial implementation using a 12 pixel ring. The main effort will be to implement a module architecture that can be extended an modified easy with new features. The main challenge is to implement smooth movement with 16 bit integer arithmetic.

• Description of the hardware
• Game instruction

MK2 - scaling up

Extending the game to a longer pixel strip (depending on the money it will cost). This will give more options for some crazy variations (Moving bonus spots, labyriths, magnets, stacking of bonus elements, movement variations)

• MK1 is complete. See</br>
