sonictl / wifikit8_dinosaurGame

An arduino dinosaur game running on wifi_kit_8 with ESP8266 and ssd1306 oled.

A dinosaur game emulates GoogleChromeNoInternet game.

Google Chorme offers a Dinosaur Game when NoInternet happens. That shows a dinosaur overcoming the cactuses in desert. This game is based on the wiki_kit_8 board that has two buttons and an 0.91inch oled screen. The two buttons are for restart and jump the dinosaur. The oled displays the game. If you like this game, any contributions are welcomed.

Hardware

ESP8266 driven board wifi_kit_8 dev by Heltech Co. Ltd. in Chengdu.

Development tools

VsCode + platformIO for arduino development.

Software library depends

ESP8266_Arduino core Adafruit_SSD1306 More details, see the platformio.ini

Implementing steps and labour amount:

1. basic display and bitMaps data preparation. --49%
2. interrupt on the pin for button_jump -- 1%
3. dinosaur and monster moving beats. display them with millis() - last_millis > threshold. --20%
4. add jumping regulator for jump height vary. --10%
5. add instructions for game over. --5%
6. add collision judgement function. --15%

todo list:

• add speed various for monster moving, delta_speed = score/15 or vary the beatTime1 by value of score.

• Write the highest score in SNIFFS or LITTLEFS, and display it when game over.

• Make a cool animation for the occurency of new high score record.

• write the code into .cpp & .h files to make them clear.

• add non-source beeper and music for this game.
