Project Title

baem geim - Snake Game Reborn

Abstract

beim geim is revived, most amusing snake game where player maneuvers a line which grows in length by consuming dots as food, with the line itself and wall as obstacle. The player's points augment when snake consumes food. The game is over if snake comes in contact with itself or against the wall. The game is designed using two SJone LPC1758 microcontroller boards one each to drive 32x32 LED Matrix and Joystick module respectively. They communicate wirelessly through RF Nordic transceiver.

Schedule

Week#	Date	Task	Status	Actual Completion Date
1	09/22/2018	Reviewed previous projects of CMPE 244 on Socialledge. Brainstormed ideas and came up with 3 proposals.	Completed Completed	09/25/2018
2	09/30/2018	Had detailed discussion on second set of project ideas involving LED Matrix. Came up with 2 game projects, prepared abstracts and submitted them for review.	Completed Completed	10/02/2018
3	10/06/2018	With approved baem geim proposal, discussed approach and list of components. Prepared schedule for project flow.	Completed Completed	10/07/2018
4	10/13/2018	Division project into modules and assignment of responsibilities for each module to individual team member. Order of essential components to kickstart project work.	Completed Completed	10/14/2018
5	10/20/2018	Tested LED Matrix using Dash charger, however power was insufficient as a result of which random patterns were generated. Realized requirement of Female Barrel Jack adapter and 5V/4A power supply for complete illumination.	Completed Completed	10/21/2018
6	10/27/2018	Initiated driver for LED Matrix to display characters/desired pattern. Systematically drafted steps for flow of the game and initiated design of algorithm for snake movement.	Completed Completed	11/14/2018 11/10/2018
7	11/03/2018	Discussed challenges in writing the complete driver for LED Matrix, switched to the approach of modifying pre-existing library as per requirements. Finalized Joystick module for input,snake control and placed order.	Completed Completed	11/04/2018
8	11/10/2018	Understand working of Joystick Module and implement simple driver to control directions and push button for game start. Download EagleCAD software for design of schematic and layout. Further explore various options available.	Completed Completed	11/15/2018 11/12/2018
9	11/13/2018	To read the datasheet of Nordic wireless and understand high level API's used. Finalize components to be on PCB and kickstart with schematic.	In Progress In Progress

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 subsections 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?
