Lumberjack is a reaction-based game with the objective of chopping down a tree while avoiding the incoming branches. The project will be a re-creation of a mobile game called Timber Guy, using an LED matrix array and capacitive touch buttons to interface with the game. Players will continuously cut down a tree by tapping on the capacitive touch sensors to make the character chop the tree. Meanwhile, they must also dodge the descending branches of the tree. By touching the respective capacitive sensors on the left or right sides of the LED display, players will move the character to avoid getting hit. Moreover, the players must continuously cut down the tree, which restores the countdown gauge, faster than it is depleted. If the player collides with a branch or the countdown is depleted, the game will be considered over.

Abstract

Lumberjack is a reaction-based game with the objective of chopping down a tree while avoiding the incoming branches. The project will be a re-creation of a mobile game called Timber Guy, using an LED matrix array and momentary switch buttons to interface with the game. Players will continuously cut down a tree by pressing between the left and right buttons to make the character chop the tree. Meanwhile, they must also dodge the descending branches of the tree. By touching the respective buttons on the left or right sides of the LED display, players will move the character to avoid getting hit. Moreover, the players must continuously cut down the tree, which restores the countdown timer, faster than it is depleted. If the player collides with a branch or the countdown is depleted, the game will be considered over.

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?

Project Video

Upload a video of your project and post the link here.

Project Source Code

References

Acknowledgement

Any acknowledgement that you may wish to provide can be included here.

References Used

List any references used in project.

Appendix

You can list the references you used.
