Final Progress – Introduction to Interactive Media

For me, the hardest part (other than the coding *starts crying*) is not to change my idea. My initial idea was to recreate WHACK-A-MOLE game, but since I’m recreating it to be my own I’m going to make it WHACK-A-VAMP (whacking vampires instead of moles hahaha so creative). And so, to insure that I won’t change my idea, I started drawing the background *I’m drawing the characters and the setup of the game on my own*

And then I want to make a self-portrait vampire and the inspiration is myself and this lil vmap (yes my idea for the first assignment was to make a self-portrait vampire and I don’t know why)

But drawing a face takes too long for me so I will do it on the weekend since I like to draw in one sitting and this will probably take around 7-8 hours straight.

As of the code, this is what I’ve got going so far:

// variable declaration
const int rLED = 2;
const int bLED = 3;
const int gLED = 4;
const int yLED = 5;

const int rButton = 9;
const int bButton = 8;
const int gButton = 7;
const int yButton = 6;

void setup()
{
  //Set LED pins, displays light
  pinMode(rLED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(bLED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(gLED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(yLED, OUTPUT);
 
  //Set Buttons as inputs. controls if the user whacked the vamp
  pinMode(rButton, INPUT);
  pinMode(bButton, INPUT);
  pinMode(gButton, INPUT);
  pinMode(yButton, INPUT);
}

void loop()
{
// here is the code for when the LED lights are represented as the vamps so that once i'm done with the processing animation part i would just add another condition which is for the vamp to be shown on screen
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  {
    //Randomly turns on an LED
    digitalWrite(random(2, 6), HIGH);
   
    //Checks if any of the LEDs are on
    while(digitalRead(rLED) == HIGH || digitalRead(bLED) == HIGH || digitalRead(gLED) == HIGH ||digitalRead(yLED) == HIGH)
    {
      //Functions that turns off the randomly lit LED
      if (digitalRead(rLED) == HIGH)
      {
        // Makes sure button is pressed
        if (digitalRead(rButton) == HIGH)
        {
          //Turns off LED
          digitalWrite(rLED, LOW);
        }
      }

      if (digitalRead(bLED) == HIGH)
      {
        // Makes sure button is pressed
        if(digitalRead(bButton) == HIGH)
        {  
          //Turns off LED
          digitalWrite(bLED, LOW);
        }
      }

      if (digitalRead(gLED) == HIGH)
      {
        //Makes sure button is pressed
        if(digitalRead(gButton) == HIGH)
        {
          //Turns off LED
          digitalWrite(gLED, LOW);
        }
      }

      if (digitalRead(yLED) == HIGH)
      {
        // Makes sure button is pressed
        if(digitalRead(yButton) == HIGH)
        {
          //Turns off LED
          digitalWrite(yLED, LOW);
        }
      }
      delay(100);
    }
  }
 
// ends the game
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
  {
    digitalWrite(rLED, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(bLED, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(gLED, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(yLED, HIGH);

    delay(250);

    digitalWrite(rLED, LOW);
    digitalWrite(bLED, LOW);
    digitalWrite(gLED, LOW);
    digitalWrite(yLED, LOW);

    delay(250);
  }
}
