Pong game built to run on a PIC32 board coded from scrath.

Primary LanguageC

KTH_IS1200_Computer_Hardware_Engineering_Project

X-Pong (passed as an advanced project)

C

X-Pong is an interpretation of the classic game Pong written in the languages C and Assembly to be run on a pic32 board together with a basic I/O shield. The project was one of the final parts of the KTH course IS1200 VT23 Computer Hardware Engineering.

Configuration

The program comes preconfigured for the hardware given for the course. Only the Makefile should be reconfigured for compiling, anything else can cause errors.

Compiling & Installation

Note that these steps are just general instructions. They may vary depending on your system.

To compile the code, you need the following:

  • The files (download via the button above)
  • MCB32 toolchain (available on the course page)
  • A pic32 board connected to the computer via USB

Now, you simply have to enter the MCB32 environment, navigate to the folder and execute the following commands:

The first command is for compiling the code. Here, you'll see if you got any errors:

make;

The second command will install the compiled files on the chip kit:

make install;

Now, unless you got any errors, the code should be sent to the pic32.

Required Files

All files except for the following are required for compiling:

  • .gitignore
  • README.md
  • readme.txt

A list of known bugs

  • The ball can get stuck on the edge and start vibrating while still moving horizontally.
  • The ball can get in a fixed angle at the top and bottom (it keeps going back and fort horizontally).
  • Random highscore (slot 9) after first insertion. Dissapear when more is added.
  • Pressing OK when starting the game results in moving right paddle.
