F19: Alien Wars
Contents
Alien Wars
Abstract
Alien wars is a single player combat game, with increasing levels of difficulty. Each level has a has target number of enemy spaceships to be destroyed, before the ultimate villain ‘the alien king’ appears. Once the ultimate villain is killed the player proceeds to next level. The speed of the enemy spaceships approaching the player will increase with the increasing levels. The player can choose to either shoot the enemy spaceship using missiles or dodge it. The game ends when the player crashes with enemy spaceship.

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:
- Technical Challennges
- Flickering of data
- Dynamic display of objects in LED matrix display
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?
