This is my AVR Touch-Pad. After completing touch screen
interfacing with AVR I decided to make a touch-pad where I can write, draw and
erase and finally I completed something like as I want. A resistive touch
screen is mounted upon GLCD. There is three Touch-buttons for pencil, brush and
eraser named A, B and C.
Pong is one of the first computer
game that ever created, this simple "tennis like" game features two
paddles and a ball, the goal is to defeat your opponent by being the first one
to gain10 point, a player gets a point once the opponent misses a ball. The
game can be played with two human players, or one player against a computer
controlled paddle. The game was originally developed by Allan Alcorn and
released in 1972 by Atari corporations. Soon, Pong became a huge success, and
became the first commercially successful game, On 1975, Atari release a home
edition of Pong (the first version was played on Arcade machines) which sold
150,000 units. Today, the Pong Game is considered to be the game which started
the video games industry, as it proved that the video games market can produce
significant revenues.
In this post I am going to explain
5x7 pong game using AVR. In my previous post I will explain working and
interfacing of 5x7 LED matrix display with AVR. Now this time we will use it
again to make PONG!!!.Ok!! Let’s make:
Circuit
Diagram:
Making
Steps:
Step1:
First of all you have to make this
circuit. You can make this circuit on zero PCB or download PCB layout from here
which I design in “PCB Wizard”.
If you want to design this PCB at
home then Read this post:
Note: You can download PCB layout in PDF. If you are going to design this PCB then open the
PDF and set its zoom to 75.1% and then take it's current view print.
Step2: Paste all the components and jumper
wires:
Step2: Make 5x7 LED matrix display. To
know how to make this and its working. read this post:
Step4: Connect LED matrix display with PCB
using burg-strip.
Step5: Complete Setup
Step6: Connect 12Volt adapter for power
supply
How
to Play:
After powering the circuit, press “game”
(right hand side UP) button to play game and press “Alfa”( (right hand side
DOWN ) to see alphabets and numbers.
Initially it will display two paddles
and a ball. This is a two player game. Each player has two buttons for up and
down. Press the button to move paddles up and down. Ball bounces between two paddles.You have to defeat your opponent two times to win the game. If you miss the
ball you lost a point and opponent gets one point. LED will indicate one point,
the first who gain two points will win the game.
