Video Game with Accelerometer-based Controls

Team Members: Billy Kozak, Nathan Sinnamon, Jeff Theriault

Our group created an (up to two-player) original video game similar to classic space-shooter arcade games such as Taito Corporation’s Space Invaders. This project centered on the use of the Altera DE2 development board and the NIOSII microprocessor, and the necessary software was written using µC/OSII. The aim of the game is to shoot down and evade enemy spacecraft and their projectiles using accelerometer-based controllers which we also created.
