Killer Boxes

Simple survival game written in C++ for Arduino Uno.

About

This game was made as a hobby project to test our programming and circuitry skills, and to help us learn a little bit about Arduino PWM interfacing in C/C++.

Setup

1. Wire up a joystick module, two buttons, and an LCD 1602 module to the arduino board as follows:
   • Joystick Module:
     • GND: Ground
     • +5V: 5 Volts
     • VRx: A0
     • VRy: A1
     • SW: PWM 2
   • Left button: PWM 8
   • Right button: PWM 7
   • 1602 LCD module:
     • GND: Ground
     • VCC: 5 Volt
     • SDA: A4
     • SCL: A5

2. Install John Rickman's LCD library in the Arduino IDE.
3. Open killer-boxes.ino into the IDE, Compile the code and run it on your Arduino!

Gameplay

• Press the Joystick button to start the game
• Control player movement with the joystick
• Shoot left and right using the aforementioned left and right buttons
• Press joystick button to use "burst" ability (only 3 uses per game)
