ENGS21: Gunkless Drain

ENGS21: Gunkless Drain

For ENGS21 we build a small device that would retrofit in your shower drain and was foot powered to help clear clogged drains.

ENGS31 DigitalElectronics — TiNZ

ENGS31 DigitalElectronics — TiNZ

Our goal for TiNZ was to create a simple, but addicting game that played off of old-fashioned handheld and vintage arcade games, but utilized newer technology that allowed for a more modern feel and the implementation of more exciting features. We succeeded in creating a challenging game that takes the user's movements as inputs via an accelerometer to move the player on the board, which consists of a small 8x8 RGB LED matrix with a seven-segment display showing the timer and score. A piezo is also included to produce different sounds for specific actions in the game. These components contribute to a gaming experience that is stimulating both tactilely, visually and aurally. The game design also makes the game easy to reprogram to include more levels and additional features.
