Overview

Maze Craze is an interactive board-game that's a maze. It has "walls" comprised of lines of LEDs arranged in a grid. The player moves his or her magnetic piece through the maze. A computer will track a players movement (using magentic sensors), ensuring they don't cheat and will change the position of the walls in response to the player's movements (by lighting different walls). The game is designed to be fun for the whole family, with a vareity of difficulties and also a 2-player option! The maze will count the number of moves it took for you to complete a certain puzzle and you can try to beat your family's high score!!

Objectives:

1. Constuct a functioning game board.

2. Make it pretty.

3. Create a user interface. (i.e. make it responsive)

4. Design different challenges and games for the players.

5. Make a random maze generator that ensures mazes are solvable.

6. Make a 2-player option.

7. By the end of the semester we'd like out demo to be a playable, engaging game for the adults and students who try it.

Challenges

1. Learn any necessary coding languages.

2. Constructing a board.

3. Wiring the board.

4. Figuring out magnetic sensors.

5. Maze-solving algorithms?

6. Maze-constructing algorithms?
