Design a Retro game of Snake from Nokia using OLED and Joystick.
With these steps, you've successfully created a basic Nokia Snake game using a 0.96" OLED, a joystick, and an Arduino Nano. You can enhance the game by adding more features, improving graphics, and optimizing controls.
Description:
Creating a Nokia Snake game using a 0.96" OLED, a joystick, and an Arduino Nano is an exciting project. Below are the detailed steps to guide you through the process:
Materials Needed
1. Arduino Nano
2. 0.96" OLED display (SSD1306)
3. Joystick module
4. Breadboard and jumper wires
5. Power supply or USB cable
6. Resistors (if needed for pull-down or pull-up)
Step 1: Setup and Installation
1. Install Arduino IDE:
Download and install the Arduino IDE from the official [Arduino website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software).
2. Install Required Libraries:
Open the Arduino IDE and install the following libraries through the Library Manager (Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries):
- Adafruit SSD1306
- Adafruit GFX
Step 2: Wiring the Components
1. OLED Display:
- VCC to 5V (or 3.3V, depending on your display)
- GND to GND
- SCL to A5 (SCL)
- SDA to A4 (SDA)
2. Joystick Module:
- VCC to 5V
- GND to GND
- VRx to A0 (horizontal movement)
- VRy to A1 (vertical movement)
- SW to D2 (button press)
Step 3: Testing and Debugging
1. Upload the Code:
Connect your Arduino Nano to your computer using a USB cable. Select the appropriate board and port in the Arduino IDE and upload the code.
2. Check the Display:
Ensure the OLED display initializes correctly and shows the snake's movement.
3. Joystick Control:
Move the joystick and observe the snake's movement on the OLED display. Adjust the delay and mapping values for smoother control.
Step 4: Enhancements
1. Food Item:
Add random food generation on the screen and increase the snake's length when it eats the food.
2. Game Over Condition:
Implement collision detection with the screen boundaries and the snake's body.
3. Score Display:
Add a score counter and display it on the screen.
