Game made by Francisco Martin and Andrew Smith

Mexican Standoff is a single or multiplayer game where players attempt to react faster than their opponents. In single player mode, players face-off against an AI (don't worry, it's programmed to be a bit slow). In multiplayer mode, players go toe-to-toe with another player. Both players start with 5 hit points. If player one presses the correct button corresponding to the correct prompt faster than player 2, player 2 loses a point. Reach zero and you lose! Each shot lights a an LED on the mbed board on the side of the player who shot first. Be careful though, press the wrong button and you immediately lose a point. There are 4 possible prompts: shoot up, shoot down, shoot any, and shoot none. These are randomly selected so that players cannot preemptively guess the prompt.

Menu Controls:

• OK: Left Buttons
• UP: Upper Right Button
• DOWN: Lower Right Button
