How to Game Works

An ATMega32 controls the main logic of the game. It also provides outputs required to run the 3x2 LED Matrix (each LED Matrix is 8x8) setup. There are two buttons attached to PA3(Player Goes up) and PA4(Player Goes down). Another button (PA5) is for shooting bullets.
There is also an LCD display that keeps track of the current score and health remaining.

Problems faced and solutions

To achieve a better gaming experience, we had decided to stack two rows of three 8x8 LED Matrices together and make a 3x2 display. Every single color LED Matrix has 16 pins, therefore, in order to control the 6 LED Matrices, we would need 16 × 6 = 96 pins along with the control pins for the LCD Display. Connecting all those pins would require a lot of wires and the overall design wouldn’t be efficient at all.

That’s why we came up with a clever solution to minimize the number of pins required to control the LED Matrices and with this trick, the number of necessary pins can be kept constant and the display can be extended to any number of LED Matrices.
The trick is to use 74HC595N Shift Register (6 Shift Registers for 6 LED Matrices) to control the voltage given to the rows of the LED Matrices
