Button Pad Games

This project integrates 3 button pad games in one box. The rotary encoder selects the game (1,2,3). The potientometer adjusts the speed. Sound comes from a SAM2695 MIDI synthesizer module. Press the rotary encoder to toggle sound on/off, long press the rotary encoder for the volume page, then turn the rotary encoder to adjust the volume.

  Game #1 - Ambient Blinking  

This is sort of like an electronic wind chimes thing. It just flashes the button pad lights randomly. There is no interaction with the buttons.

  Game #2 - Interactive Conway's Life Game  

This is the classic Conway's Game of Life but interactive and with sound. Pressing a button pauses the game and toggles the cell on/off. With this feature you can experiment, construct gliders, etc. The sound is keyed off of the game state.

  Game #3 - Simple Sequencer  

This is a simple MIDI sequencer with percussion and 6 MIDI instruments. Change the mode to reset the sequencer.
