For project 2, I wanted to integrate some simple game mechanics into my prototype. I’ve been working a lot with color over the past few months and decided that would be a good direction to move in.
My game allows a player to select any image with a direct URL and dial in an external RGB LED to match the most used color in the image. The user adds Red, Green, and Blue color to and indicator LED one at a time and can tweak the color until they submit it. I’ve simplified the game somewhat for the user by giving them 4096 color choices instead of the traditional 16.9 million. On submission of the guessed color, an external seven segment display assigns a score from 0-9 based on the user’s performance and the computer monitor displays the most used color in the image.
The hardest part of this project was making the computer display and RGB LED match up in color. It’s a problem without a simple solution given the cheapness of the parts, but could be solved if the game were made at a grander scale with better components and more time.
Here is a video of the game in action, enjoy!
