DoReFindMi

==========



This is a game for [Rainbow HAT for Android Things][product] in which the aim is to find the sequence of the ABC buttons to press, which if followed in correct order, will play out the "do-re-mi" melody. The player's seek time is measured for an element of competitiveness.






Pre-requisites

--------------

- Android Things compatible board

- Android Studio 2.2+

- [Rainbow HAT for Android Things][product]



Game flow and rules

-------------------

- The game starts when the 3 step counter reaches zero and game timer starts

- The player needs to guess the order of the 8-step order of the  A, B, C buttons

- When pressed in correct order, the buzzer plays the “do-re-mi” melody, and the led strip lights up the leds one by one, from left to right

- When an incorrect button is pressed a low-frequency sound is played out, the led lights reset and the player has to guess the order from the start

- The round is won when the player completes the sequence after which the alphanumeric display displays `WON!` followed by the time it took the player to win

- A game is restarted by pressing on the buttons again, when a new sequence of steps is generated, and next players can attempt to complete their rounds in fastest time

Dependencies and architecture

-----------------------------

The game makes use of the following individual components provided by [Rainbow HAT][product]:

- Buttons

- Gpio Leds

- Piezo Speaker

- Apa102 Led Strip

- Alphanumeric Display



Classes which provide access to these components implement `things.supplier.*Supplier` adapter interfaces and contain minimal logic to enable replacing them with other compatible devices, or a subset thereof, or stubs in tests. There are unit tests which do just that in the `test` source set. The logic of interaction with the devices is implemented in their respective `things.controller.*Controller` classes. A game contains of rounds which are initiated and announced when completed by `GameController` class, and Player’s \*moves/guesses\* are validated by `Game` class.



Build and install

=================

In Android Studio, click on the "Run" button.

If you prefer to run on the command line, type

```bash

./gradlew installDebug

adb shell am start com.tomaszrykala.dorefindmi/.DoReFindMiActivity

```



Schematics

----------

No idea, I’ve used [Rainbow HAT][product] (contributions welcome).



Contributions

-------------

As above ;-)



Next steps

----------

At the moment there are no hints as to what buttons should players press, akin to the popular game [Simon][simon] (I genuinely did not know of it until a friend told me this project is like it). This should probably be added, because it can be argued that currently winning a game is based on pure luck, with just a little of short term memory requirement :-)
