Mancala

Created by Daniel Loo and Darshawn Patel

Description

For our project we made a Mancala game that uses a MPR121 I2C Capacitive Touch Sensor, Adafruit Bluefruit LE UART Friend, and a uLCD-144-G2 128. Mancala is a two player turn based board game. The objective is to take turns and try to get the most marbles in ones own goal pit. The players take turns selecting one of their pits to move marbles from. When picked, the selected pits' marbles are picked up and moved in a counter clockwise, dropping one marble for each pit passed.

Controls

Player 1 uses the touchpad to choose their pits (pads 1-6). Each pad corresponds to a pit and player 1 chooses one pit with marbles each turn. Player 2 uses a bluetooth connected phone and pads 1, 2, 3, 4, up (5), and down (6) to choose their pit.
