Arduino Uno Game Projects

1) 🐍 Snake with Joystick

This is a simple Snake Game controlled with a joystick and enhanced with a buzzer for a better gaming experience.

How to Play?

• Control the snake using the joystick.
• Alternatively, you can use buttons (requires modifications in the code).

Why a Buzzer?

• The buzzer beeps when the snake eats food and when it collides with itself, ending the game, providing auditory feedback.
• The snake's speed increases after eating food, making the game more difficult.

Limitations

• Scores can be displayed using a 5161AS (7-segment display), but the Arduino Uno runs out of available pins in this project.

Requirements

• Hardware: 8x8 Matrix (1088AS), jumper wires, breadboard, resistors, passive buzzer, joystick.
• Software: Arduino IDE (2.3.4).

2) 🧠 Simon Says

This is a Simon Says memory game built using an Arduino Uno. The game tests your ability to remember and repeat sequences of LED flashes with buttons.

How to Play?

• The game starts by flashing a random LED.
• You must press the correct button matching the LED and playing a corresponding sound.
• If you succeed, the sequence grows longer, and you must repeat the full pattern.
• The game continues until you make a mistake and it starts from the beginning.

Possible developments

• Different sounds could be added for each button press, associating them with the corresponding lights.

Requirements

• Hardware: 4 push buttons, 4 leds, jumper wires, breadboard, resistors, passive buzzer.
• Software: Arduino IDE (2.3.4).

3) 🚦 Green Light, Red Light

This is a Green Light, Red Light game built using an Arduino Uno. The game tests your reaction and timing skills with a button and LED system, enhanced with sound effects with buzzer.

How to Play?

• When the green light is on (music is playing), hold the button to earn points.
• When the red light is on (no music), pressing the button results in losing the game.
• The game continues until you make a mistake.

Possible developments

• A timer could be added to finish the game within a specific time limit.
• The song's speed can randomly increase, preventing players from memorizing a fixed rhythm.

Requirements

• Hardware: 4-digit 7-segment display (5461BS-1), LED (red & green), push button, jumper wires, breadboard, resistors, passive buzzer.
• Software: Arduino IDE (2.3.4).

4) 🌌 Space Wars

This is a space-themed asteroid shooter game built with an Arduino Uno, controlled using a joystick for a more comfortable gameplay experience.

How to play?

• Control the spacecraft with joystick
• The spacecraft is shooting continuously.
• If an asteroid is hit, it breaks into places with effect.
• If an asteroid reaches the boundary line near your position, the game is over.

Sounds

• The buzzer beeps when asteroid is hit and when game is over.

Requirements

• Hardware: OLED screen (128x64), joystick, mini breadboard, jumper wires, resistor, passive buzzer.
• Software: Arduino IDE (2.3.4).
