Project Title

Goals of Glory

Abstract

Gesture-based gaming is getting tremendous adoption due to immersive gameplay and increased player engagement. Goals of Glory is a classic penalty shootout game where 2 players can play wirelessly, and the corresponding game visuals are displayed on the LED Matrix in real time. The logic for player movement is based on the output from a Gyroscope and an Accelerometer embedded on MPU 6050 whereas accelerometer on the SJone helpS drive goalkeeper movements. Thus the sensors such as accelerometer on the SJone board and gyroscope on MPU 6050 detect the motion of player leg movements to kick and hand movements of the goalkeeper to stop the ball and the corresponding game animations are mapped on 64x64 LED Matrix. Thus the LED matrix is interfaced to the SJone board in such a way that the main SJone board controlling the LED Matrix receives commands wirelessly from hand and leg movements of each player via the Nordic wireless mesh network. Three display screens are developed for the game UI- Start screen, Game screen, and result screen. Thus, by playing Goals of Glory, players can experience gesture-based gaming capabilities.

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

<Bug/issue name>

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
