I created this project as part of the "Introduction to Robotics" course I took in the 3rd year @FMI UNIBUC. The goal was to create a game featuring an 8x8 LED Matrix.
I really enjoy playing rhythm games and it seemed like a great challenge to implement one on such restrictive hardware. Thus I chose to make something resembling OSU! Mania (or piano tiles if you may).
I tried using an mp3player and actual OSU! files (stored on SDCard) translated to fit the restrictions. After a lot of brainstorming, failing to get the hardware to work properly, I almost dropped the idea. The @teach suggested I used a second arduino. In the end I implemented a midway solution, using Arduino Songs stored on the SDCard on the second board.
🧩 You've got 4 columns and 4 buttons. Each button corresponds to one of the collumns.
🧩 Press (and hold) the button when the bar reaches the bottom. Release when it ends
🧩 Your goal is to hit as many and as much of the falling bars. If you play well you'll hear
the song
🧩 Play well and get your lives back.
🧩 Miss too many you lose.
