Project Description

Tricky Tones is a handheld, memory-based game aimed towards challenging the user's ability to recall patterns in rapid succession. Inspired by the game, "Bop-It!"—Tricky Tones is meant to keep players on their toes while providing endless entertainment. The handheld device will walk the user through gameplay, starting with Level 1, the user will hear 3 tones as well as corresponding lights to indicate which buttons to press. The user must wait for the sequence to finish before replaying the sequence back. If all tones are played back correctly, the player will receive a victory song and progresses to the next level. If an incorrect tone is played, the player will receive the classic, "womp womp womp..." sound effect.​ The device runs on an Arduino Nano running over 600 lines of code. The motherboard of the device is a custom built PCB using Altium design software.

My Role

I led the development of the PCB design and programming of the Arduino microcontroller. I chose to utilize a custom printed circuit board to greatly reduce the footprint of the electronics inside the unit and make it handheld. This allowed me to gain more experience in Altium designer and optimizing large programs to run smoothly on a small processor.
