#MeetMe_Game #arduino

Making final tweaks to #MeetMe_Game #100daysofcode R1D83 #arduino #cpp. :)

Two strips refreshed by #esp8266, with data received over serial from #arduino mega. With 50ms delay between pixel movements. #100daysofcode R1D75. Code at github link in my profile.

Updating led strip using ESP8266, with position data sent via serial from #arduino Mega. Hope this helps me use lots of Mega pins, and outsource processor intensive led refreshing to the faster #esp8266 . #100daysofcode R1D75 :)

Working on 7Segment score display for #MeetMe_Game R1D62 :) #100daysofcode #arduino

So frustrating, intermittently-reliable RF24 modules. Tried soldering, capacitor, swapping out modules. They seem to work better when they are completely unplugged. R1D60 :# #100daysofcode is dragging. #arduino

Using RF24 as a member variable in another class. Continuing with #EmotionalSheep R1D59 :) #100daysofcode #arduino #cpp

Sending data (struct) smoothly between RF24 modules. Displaying one struct variable on yellow led. R1D58 :) #100daysofcode #arduino #EmotionalSheep

Finally got nRF24 radios working. Dodgy jumper connections!##!#! Good tips here . R1D57 :0 #100daysofcode #arduino

Found a use for a cactus #arduino board - programming minimal arduinos. Will need this to continue #EmotionalSheep . R1D56 :) #100daysofcode

Started programming #EmotionalSheep transmitter (a radio controlled sheep). Also made a game engine template for future use. Finally got enough grasp of PlatformIO to get started. R1D56 #100daysofcode #arduino #cpp

Started working on next interactive project, called #EmotionalSheep, while waiting on display parts for #MeetMe_Game. R1D55 feeling happy to get back after a few missed days. #100daysofcode #arduino

Rebuilt #MeetMe_Game prototype with 90 Leds per strip. Tested with friends. Good feedback and learnings. R1D55 :) #100daysofcode #arduino

Revised UI concept for #MeetMe_Game. Programmed score and rounds (level) displays to match. R1D54 :) #100daysofcode #arduino

Programmed level display and explored concepts for #MeetMe_Game user interface. R1D53 :) #100daysofcode #arduino

Added score and score display for #MeetMe_Game. In this game player scores are combined; cooperative goal is to reach a target score in as few rounds as possible. They get more points when their bullets meet closer to the middle of the arena. R1D52 feeling keen to finish this off

Worked on non-playing modes for #MeetMe_Game . R1D51 yabba dabba doo. #100daysofcode #arduino

Unique player colours and explosions on #MeetMe_Game. Minor issues with led strip but it's working well. R1D50! Thanks all for the comments and likes. #100daysofcode #arduino

Programmed collision/explosion animation for #MeetMe_Game using a parabolic equation. R1D49 :) #100daysofcode #arduino
