However, our code will work with grids of dimensions less than or equal to a 16x16, so you do not have to necessarily buy as many LEDs as we did. For our project, we ordered 300 LEDs so that we could make a 15x15 grid with many spare LEDs just in case some were defective. You will need to buy the LEDs which will make up the physical maze grid and the wire to connect the LEDs to the Nexys 3 board. 10''x8'' picture frame with a deep front (optional).10''x8'' MDF board (8"x8" minimum, but frames can be found in 10"x8").Spool of insulated wire (20-22 Gauge, copper).Resistors ( n)(Optional: +1 for piezoelectric speaker).LEDs ( n squared for an n by n grid ).This project is just for fun and education, so we hope you all have a good time mazing! We provide an easy and a hard maze for you guys to get started on. Test your designs on your family and friends with literally endless maze possibilities! You guys can program in any maze you want to play (within the LED dimensions you choose), allowing you to create your own mazes to solve. There's a lot of handiwork involved, but it's fun if you enjoy that sort of thing, and it's very good experience for soldering.Īnother reason we chose to make this maze game was that the programmability of the maze allows for a more dynamic player-game relationship than most games. The practical part of this project, making the maze board, is a bit of a challenge. However, these mazes have the added excitement of LED lights, sound effects, and a count down timer for extra challenge. Our maze game follows standard maze etiquette: you must get from one side of the board to the another by navigating the landscape provided. The goal was to create a video game using a Nexus 3 board, and we thought a reprogrammable maze game would be the most fun to design and play. We are two students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and this is our final project for our Digital Design class.
Hello Everyone! This is how to create a reprogrammable maze game using a Nexus 3 board.
