EE-Emerge 2020: Four Face

FourFace is a capacitive touch, four player interactive game in the vein of the 80's electronic game, "Simon". The basic premise of the game is a pattern of lights will emit for each player that they will then have to replicate. If they guess incorrectly, they are eliminated. With each round the patterns become more complex

About the Project

FourFace is a project developed during the 2019/2020 academic year by undergraduates from EE-Emerge a group within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Davis. FourFace is interactive memory game where four players compete against one another by replicating randomly generated patterns. As the rounds increase, the patterns become more difficult. Once a person fails to imitate the given pattern, they are eliminated. Last person to survive the remaining rounds is crowned the winner. At the core of FourFace's technology is CapSense technology and custom PCBs.

Features:

• CapSense Technology
• Custom PCB's
• 1-4 player game
• Adjustable Difficulty
• Portable The mechanical design for the project is composed of a 15x15in cube with 9 acrylic tiles that face each player.

Our motivation for the project was to put a creative, more modern spin on a similar, but older game. We wanted to use our engineering skills to bring a faint idea into a reality by overseeing it through the whole product lifecycle.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Dependencies

Required

In order to build the firmware, TI Code Composer should be installed. When prompted select to add support for MSP430 and MSP432 microcontrollers.

Optional

Segger J-Link support can be added for MSP432, but is not required.
