Features

• ST7735 Display: Provides visual feedback and game status updates, displaying stages, scores, and game over messages.
• BNO055 IMU: Detects tilt actions (up, down, left, right) with precise measurements using Euler's angles.
• Passive Buzzer Music: Plays the Cantina Band theme from Star Wars at 140 BPM, enhancing the gaming experience with background music.
• Bluetooth Module (USART): Enables wireless communication between the display and the controller.
• LED Indicators: Show the timer and remaining lives, providing real-time feedback to the player.
• Interactive Commands: Respond to various commands such as BOP, TWIST, TILT, and SHAKE with corresponding physical actions.
• Sound Effects: Includes beep sounds for screen changes and actions, making the game more interactive.
• Random Score Display: Adds a dynamic visual element by displaying random scores.
• Volume Control: Adjust the music volume using a potentiometer.
• Power Toggle Switch: Allows for turning the system on and off.

Hardware Components

• Bluetooth Module (2x): Facilitates communication between the game components.
• ST7735 Display: Provides visual feedback and game information.
• LEDs (6x): Indicate timer and lives.
• Toggle Switch: Powers the system on and off.
• Tilt Ball Switch: Detects shake actions.
• Passive Buzzer: Plays background music.
• Active Buzzer: Produces sound effects.
• BNO055 IMU: Measures tilt actions.
• 4-Digit Display: Shows scores and other game information.
• Button: Used for the BOP action.
• Potentiometers (2x): One for volume control and one for the TWIST action.
• Arduino Nano and Arduino: Microcontrollers for running the game logic.
• Resistors (7x): Used for various electronic circuits.

Software Libraries

• spiAVR.h: Used for controlling the ST7735 display.
• buzzer.h: Manages the music playback on the passive buzzer.
• bno055.h: Custom library for interfacing with the BNO055 IMU.
• usart_ATMEGA.h: Facilitates Bluetooth communication.
• definePin.h: Used for defining pin names for better code readability.

Setup

Hardware Connections

1. Bluetooth Modules: Connect to the Arduino using USART communication pins.
2. ST7735 Display: Connect to the SPI pins on the Arduino.
3. LEDs: Connect to digital pins for indicating the timer and lives.
4. Tilt Ball Switch: Connect to a digital input pin.
5. Buzzers: Connect the passive buzzer for music and the active buzzer for sound effects.
6. BNO055 IMU: Connect to the I2C pins on the Arduino.
7. 4-Digit Display: Connect to the appropriate pins for displaying scores.
8. Button: Connect to a digital input pin for the BOP action.
9. Potentiometers: Connect one for volume control and one for the TWIST action.
10. Toggle Switch: Connect to the power supply to control the system power.

Software Setup

1. Install Libraries: Ensure the following libraries are installed in your Arduino IDE:
   • spiAVR.h
   • buzzer.h
   • bno055.h
   • usart_ATMEGA.h
   • definePin.h
2. Upload Code: Upload the provided Arduino code to the respective microcontrollers (Arduino Nano and Arduino).

Calibration

1. BNO055 IMU: Calibrate the IMU for accurate tilt detection. Follow the calibration procedure provided in the BNO055 documentation.
2. Testing: Test the buzzer sound, display functionality, and Bluetooth communication to ensure all components are working correctly.

How to Play

Starting the Game

• Press the BOP button to begin the game.
• The display shows "STAGE 1" and the LEDs indicate the timer and your three lives.

Responding to Commands

• BOP IT!: Press the BOP button.
• TWIST IT!: Twist the potentiometer.
• TILT (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT)!: Tilt the controller in the specified direction.
• SHAKE IT!: Shake the controller, detected by the tilt-ball switch.

Game Feedback

• Sound effects play when changing screens and performing actions.
• The Cantina Band music plays in the background during gameplay.
• The score is displayed randomly to add a visual element.
• Adjust the music volume using the blue potentiometer.
• Turn off the system using the toggle switch.

Game Over

• If you run out of lives, the display shows "GAME OVER."
