Project Overview

For our project, we intend to create a three layer Labyrinth style game. A Labyrinth game is a motion controlled game in which the player moves a ball through a maze, avoiding various holes along the way. By utilizing motion sensors to control the shift and movement of the board, the challenge becomes greater with each increasing level.

FAQ

1) What makes the board tilt?
The board is set up on 2 servo motors, one for left and right movement and one for backward and forward movement. The accelerometer in the wii nunchuck is set up to control the servo motors.

2) How does the board make noises when the ball falls down a hole?
There is a sensor set up to tell the program when the ball falls down the hole. The program then plays a sound depending on how many times the user has fallen down a hole prior.

3) How are the maze walls attached to the base board?
The walls are nailed in from under the board.

4) How are the nunchuck, sensors, and motors connected?
They are connected via an Arduino board. An Arduino board was used because they are fairly easy to program and they are very versatile.
