Project Motivation
The purpose of this project is to understand and practice integrating various hardware, and microcontroller features. Designing a mini video game is the perfect example to perform it usually requires utilizing a lot of features such as button, screen display, analog-digital converter, interrupts, ram registers, and more.
Our objective is to practice the content we learned in MSE450: Real-time embedded control system and have decided that Flappy Bird is the best to perform this as it includes an algorithm to generate poles, user input, output, score storage, ADC usage, and more.
Design of Approach / Methodology
This project is broken down into two main sections:
- Software (Release 1.0 + 2.0)
- PCB schematic design (Release 2.0)
The structure of our flappy bird game has the following game state flows.
The structure of our flappy bird game has the following state flows.
STATE_PASSWORD
The program starts with STATE_PASSWORD, where the program first asks the user to input a password through UART. It will only pass on to the next state if the password is correct.
STATE_START
At STATE_START, the Nokia screen will loop between the flappy bird logo and the sentence prompting the user to press a switch on the Tiva board to start the game.
