This project was first planned as a 1 vs 1 game, where two people could play against each other with motors, solenoids and sensors. but since i didn’t have enough parts to make both sides, i changed the idea into a 1 player game that feels more like pinball.
The player uses a joystick to move left and right, and a button to fire the solenoid like shooting the ball. there are two ir sensors that give +10 score when the ball passes, and a third IR sensor at the bottom that means game over if the ball falls. the lcd screen shows score and status, while LEDs and a buzzer give extra feedback.
so it turned into a small pinball style game that is fun to play and easy to understand.
