Arduino-MemoryGame

Created a memory game where I learnt C++ and the features of an embedded system using an Arduino.

Instructions

To install, please run program with the setup_leaderboard() function running inside of the setup function on line 62. Once this has been ran once, it can be commented back out again. Enjoy!!!

Basic Features

• Sequences are displayed on the screen as specified: YES
• Backlight flashes (only when correct): YES
• Incorrect answer leads to game over: YES
• Game supports N up to 10: YES
• Game supports M of size 4: YES
• A menu is present: YES
• Size of M can be changed: YES
• N can be changed: YES
• Message when wrong printed: YES

Additional features

• I have chosen to use delay in some places (and millis() in others) as it was appropriate that I didn't want the user to be able to interact with the game during the delay.
• I have chosen to make the practice mode endless instead of a single round. This is because "practice" takes more than 1 round.
• I have chosen to not allow for difficulty settings in story mode as the worth of a "score" is different in each setting and would not be fair to users scoring in the leaderboard.
• Handling sequences N that are longer than 10 is present
• A countdown T for inputting the answer is present
• Story mode increases in difficulty
• A full working menu is present
• Selectable difficulty levels present for practice mode
• Custom characters are present (including a 2x2 character- a sad face)
• Suitable displays for winning and losing are present
• A high score table written to the EEPROM is present
• A way for the winner of a high score to enter 3 initials is present
• When the user ends the game in story mode, the settings from the last played level is used in practice mode so they can practice that level.
• I have created a function which allows the scrolling of the top line while keeping the bottom static whilst also allowing for user interaction.
