.So let the game begin.
I made a similar one using Arduino. Check it out here:
Demonstration
This classic game may make some of us feel childhood nostalgia. The game-play is simple, try to avoid hitting opponent cars and get many scores as possible. The car can switch between 5 lanes, and there are 15 different speeds. As speed increases, cars will run faster, making the game more difficult.
Hardware components
PHPoC Blue × 1
[Catalex] Rotary Angle Sensor × 1
USB Wifi dongle × 1
Data Flow
PHPoC ---> Web browser
Players interact with the rotary angle sensor. The input signal value of rotary angle sensor is used to switch the car's position.
PHPoC reads the value from rotary angle sensor. The input ADC values are divided into 5 different levels. Switching between levels means changing the lane. Simply, if the input signal is switched to another level, PHPoC will update level to Web browser via WebSocket. Then, JavaScript function will update the position (lane) of the car. JavaScript program will continuously update the position of opponents and game speed as well.
Schematics
Connect pin GND, VCC, and SIG of rotary angle sensor to GND, 3.3V and AD0 of PHPoC, respectively.
Source Code
Source code includes:
init.php : it's run when system boots and specifies which file is run next
PHP Code:
<?php
system("php task0.php");
?>
task0.php: This file contains server side code. It is run in infinite loop to read the signal value from rotary angle sensor and send it to web browser via WebSocket.
PHP Code:
<?php
if(_SERVER("REQUEST_METHOD"))
exit; // avoid php execution via http request
include "/lib/sd_340.php";
include "/lib/sn_tcp_ws.php";
adc_setup(0, 0); // adc0, channel 0
ws_setup(0, "game", "text.phpoc");
$adc_min = 2048.0 - 2.5*400;
$last_adc_in = 0;
while(1)
{
if(ws_state(0) == TCP_CONNECTED)
{
$adc_in = adc_in(0, 30);
if(abs($adc_in - $last_adc_in) > 5)
{
$adc_5 = (int)floor((float)(($adc_in - $adc_min) / 400));
if ($adc_5<0)
{
$adc_5 =0;
}
else
if ($adc_5>4)
{
$adc_5 =4;
}
ws_write(0, (string)$adc_5 . "\r\n");
$last_adc_in = $adc_in;
}
}
}
?>
