2016-07-07: Week 2: Day 7

Agenda

  1. more Arduino C++ overview
  2. discuss the logic example: PinballLogic
  3. work on developing game logic ideas. some ideas:
    1. add scoring (with printout to the console)
    2. add a high-scoring bonus mode
    3. add stuck ball detection
    4. improve the timing of the ball drain sequence (e.g. prompt the player more clearly)
    5. add better LED animations
    6. add a speaker circuit and play tones
    7. add some microswitches to represent more playfield sensors
    8. add more LEDs to represent additional actuators
  4. Weekly goal: by end of Friday, each group should demonstrate a fully functioning game simulation which extends PinballLogic example.
