Video Game

Extreme Kayaking is a basic dodge based video game that is controlled via bluetooth and the UART app. The game starts by letting the user select a kayak. The selection is done using the four numbered buttons on the phone. Then the users kayak is placed in the river and they must uses the directional arrows to dodge rocks to make it down the river.

Game Design

Extreme Kayaking is done using object oriented program techniques in C++. The rocks and kayak are a created class which has variables for position and functions for movement and response. It also takes advantage of the ULCDs ability to print the rocks and kayak animations to the screen.

Game Hardware

The game is run using the Mbed, ULCD-144, Adafruit Bluetooth LE UART friend, and any phone with the bluefruit app. The ULCD-144 uses a serial interface to connect with the mbed and display the game. The Bluetooth LE UART allows the phone to wirelessly communicate to the mbed. The chip has a serial connection to the mbed to allow data transfer.

More information about the parts can be found here.

The connections from each component to the mbed are as follows.
