Project Title
Tilt Maze
Abstract
Tilt Maze is a motion-controlled puzzle game that challenges players to navigate a luminous ball through procedurally generated mazes using device tilting mechanics. Players must reach the exit within time constraints while maneuvering around obstacles and collecting power-ups that provide temporary advantages. The game combines physical device control with strategic gameplay elements, offering high replayability through its randomized level design and emphasizing skills in balance, spatial reasoning, and quick decision-making.
Objectives & Introduction
The Tilt Maze Game combines hardware and software to create an interactive puzzle experience. It uses an ADXL345 accelerometer for tilt-based movement control, navigating a character through a maze displayed on a 64x64 LED matrix. FreeRTOS manages concurrent tasks like accelerometer input, display updates, and game logic, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. Game states, collision detection, and immersive audio feedback via an MP3 decoder enhance the experience. Semaphores and mutexes ensure thread-safe resource management, while debug outputs provide insights during development. This project demonstrates advanced integration of peripherals and real-time systems in a cohesive gaming application.

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?
