arduino_bigmaze

A fun maze game for an arduino with an 8x8 display!

Game notes:

• You can progress through an arbitrary number of pre-defined levels
• You always start in the upper left and exit in the bottom right
• Levels are static and automatic code generation is used to build them into the source code

Hardware notes:

• uC is a knockoff Arduino nano that I got from Taipei
• Screen is an Adafruit Bicolor 8x8 matrix
• Buttons are randoms that I found in my drawer

Files in the repo:

• arduino_bigmaze.ino - The game's C source code for arduino
• levels.h - All the data for the mazes are stored here. This file is included by bigmaze.ino and autogenerated by make_levels_h.py
• make_levels_h.py - Generates levels.h using the level descriptions in levels.py
• levels.py - Contains raw level descriptions generated by wilsons.html
• wilsons.html - Generates mazes using Wilson's algorithm. This file comes from Mike Bostock's fantastic demo and was gently modified to output the maze description as a string that can be pasted into a row of levels.py
