Purpose of my project
Purpose of my project
My final project aims to develop an automated board game to help teachers with organization and support within schools.
I was inspired by doing similar activities with students using normal board games inside the classrooms
Also was inspired by the movie jumanji board game , as i want my students to experience a fun and exciting game while learning.
Jungle Race was another project done of a previous round in maker diploma and i think this game will help a lot in mine

Construction Parts
Fabricating most of the project using Laser Cutting.
some components like the ladder and the snake will be 3D-printed
Input :
There are 3 inputs:
On/Off rocker button: The game will take input from the player when a button is on.
Main push button: The game will take input from the player when a button is pushed and randomizing numbering starts
3 push buttons: Also the game will take input from the player when any of these 3 buttons is pushed during the game to choose the correct answer
Output :
Message display throughr LCDs for the questions .
and another for random numbering and recording the number of groups
Brain:
Utilizing an Arduino board as the smart device's brain to process input and send commands for actions.
As for the game board's concept, it's a zigzag-shaped board with various spaces. Each space has different instructions, such as answering questions, moving ahead, losing a turn, etc. The game starts with students rolling a dice to determine the order. Landing on spaces triggers questions, and answering correctly allows the player to continue. The one with the highest roll goes first.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

Construction Parts
1-the Main part of the game will be designed using Fusion 360 , and fabricated through Lazer cutter machine .
2 - Avatars part will be designed as 3D models using Fusion 360 and fabricated it using 3D Printing. aslo some parts like ladder and the snake .
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
sensor
Arduino
3 buttons for multiple choices
1 screen for number randomizing
1 screen for displaying questions
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
How will it be played ?
the player will put the avatrs in the correct slots
the player will choose player 1 and then a random number appears from 1 to 3 based on the number , the avatars will move to thier slots .
That slot will have a certain question , they have to answer it , (rule : if this slot has a bad command like move back 2 slots if they answered correctly , that command will not be activated )
Another slot might have good commands same rule applies
Brain
An Arduino UNO board will be used take inputs and generate actions
Power Management
normal adapter
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
The game generates a message to the user on an LCD screen after pressing the On/Off button.
Welcome lets Slither !
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: Button
The game generates a question on an LCD screen and 2 choices after pushing the main button.
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: The Main Push Button
A message will appear on the screen. based on the user input using the buttons to choose the correct answer.
"Correct or Wrong"
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: One of the 3 Push Buttons.
Complete User Features
The game generates a message when the player put the avatar in the final point.
"We have a Winner!"
"Congratulations"
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: sensor to sense the wining team
Nice-to-have User Features
Automatic movement on the track with the same number that is displayed.
Action: Stepper Motor or Servo Motor
Sensing: None
User Input: One of the 3 Push Buttons.
