Post #1 Speed base-2 : The Initiation

Meeting No. 1: Wednesday 22nd November 2017

Planning, initial ideas, time management…

Our Concept

Round 1: Each player has four different coloured buttons. The motor displays random color (out of four). Users need to react to the color displayed by pressing the coloured button that correlates to the colour on the motor. The user will be notiified if answer was wrong or right via sounds. One sound positive the other negative. This round goes for ten times before moving on to round two. (Buttons are in a diamond formation.)

Round Two: Two tones correlated with two buttons (right and left buttons). Players press button that represents the tone that is played. This round goes for ten times before moving on to the optional round three. One LED on breadboard that will change colour (red or green) based on the player’s answer being wrong or right after each reaction to tone played.

Winner announced at the end.

Logo for the game: flames attached to the common symbol of the play button (to represent game mode) and base 2.
