F24: Rival Rush

Project Title

Rival Rush

Abstract

This is a 2 player game that would be implemented on a 64*64 RGB LED. Each player has to move against the oncoming traffic without being hit by any of the vehicles. The players can move left or right horizontally across the highway by tilting the player consoles (SJ2 boards). The movement across the road by tilting is sensed by an accelerometer. The players will have 3 lives each of which is deducted per hit. The players can also collect coins on the road which add to their score. The number and speed of the approaching traffic will increase over time. The player with a greater score at the end of 60 seconds will win the game. The LED will display the players’ scores, number of lives left and the racing track on either side.

Objectives & Introduction

Show list of your objectives. This section includes the high level details of your project. You can write about the various sensors or peripherals you used to get your project completed.

Team Members & Responsibilities

• Gautam Santhanu Thampy

Schedule

Week#	Date	Task	Status
1	10/14	To go through previous projects and discuss with the team members. To come up with new ideas for applications specific to FreeRTOS.	Had a brainstorming session with the team and decided to do gaming projects using FreeRTOS. Prepared the abstract for the project proposal.
2	10/21	To decide the structure of the team and divide the project into different modules. To assign roles and responsibilities to each team member. To finalize the deadlines and deliverables for the project.	Assigned roles and responsibilities to each member. Created a test plan with tasks, deadlines and deliverables assigned to it.
3	10/28	To start designing the Master module which will take inputs from different players, take a decision and sends it to LED Matrix display.	Divided the project into different modules like Master, Player, Wireless, LED Display, PCB, and Testing. Started designing the Master module to take inputs from Players.
4	11/04	To understand the high-level APIs for the Wireless nordic node. To understand the connections, read the datasheet for RGB LED Matrix.	Made a basic layout, pin connections, power requirements for 64x64 RGB LED Matrix. Understood the Wireless APIs available and wrote a basic code to send-receive data using Nordic.
5	11/11	To install Eagle software for PCB design and get accustomed to the basic functions.
6	11/18	To test the Player and Master modules. To understand addressing mode, latching, and clock functionality for RGB LED Matrix.
7	11/25
8	12/02	To send and receive data between Player and Master using Wireless protocol. To write the logic to glow a particular LED on the display matrix. To design and finalize the PCB circuit.
9	12/09	To implement RGB LED Matrix tasks and APIs for the Master module. To integrate the layout of the application (UI, border, car design, obstacle design) to Master Module. To generate random obstacles, score logic and implement other game functionalities (eg: game over scenario). To display the cars, border area, screen division for 2 cars and enable obstacle and car movement as per the input from the master module. Finalize the PCB design, get it reviewed by the team and send it for fabrication.
10	12/16	To keep moving the display down continuously for the car race track. To move the car horizontally pixel by pixel for every change in data from the player module. To test the overall functionality of the project using PCB.
11	05/13	To Integration of all modules and end to end testing. To fix bugs and optimize the code.
12	05/20	Adding extra functionalities and extra features for the project. Test the extra features with overall project requirement.

Parts List & Cost

Give a simple list of the cost of your project broken down by components. Do not write long stories here.

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?
