Final Project Proposal: Repeat After Me

For my final project, I’m creating a game called Repeat After Me”, a retro-themed memory and reaction game where the player has to copy a sequence of flashing lights using physical buttons. It’s inspired by classic toys like Hasbro’s Simon Says, which I was obsessed with as a child, but I’m adding my own twist with pixel-style visuals, fun audio feedback, and progressively faster, more challenging rounds.

I’ve always enjoyed games that involve rhythm, timing, or quick reactions, and I wanted to build something that feels tactile and engaging but also visually playful.

Arduino will handle the hardware side:

  • Lighting up colored LEDs in random sequences

  • Reading button presses from the player

  • Using a buzzer for physical feedback

p5.js will handle the visual and audio feedback:

  • Displaying the current score and level

  • Giving real-time responses to player input with sound and screen effects

  • Showing a title screen, countdown, and game over screen

Overall, I want this project to feel playful, fast-paced, and satisfying to interact with.
