M&B (Morph & Blend)
Abstract
M&B is a unique and fast auto-runner defined by color. The game demands good reflexes to jump and blend in with the approaching obstacles to keep moving forward. The player is required to control his cube-like character that moves to the right, left and forward directions to make long jumps and change color in accordance with these obstacles. Instead of the usual jumping over the barriers and pits, the player has to adapt to them by dynamically changing the character’s color before landing on the platform. SJTwo board will be used to implement the game logic, control the RGB matrix and the joysticks/switches. The RGB matrix will be used to display the real-time game statistics such as the player name and their score. The game ends if the player lands on the wrong colored platform.

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.
