FoodCollector

Implementation of Computer Graphics and Multimedia project.

Preparing the environment

In order to compile and run this project you need to install some dependences on your machine. Let's see how to prepare a Debian based distribution.

Install the OpenGL library

You can install the library runing the following commands as root:

apt-get update
apt-get install freeglut3-dev

Install the JPEG library

You can download this library from: http://www.ijg.org/

Once you downloaded the library extract it, enter to the jpeg-9b directory and run the following commands as root:

./configure
make
make install
ranlib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a
ldconfig /usr/local/lib

Compile and execute the game

You can compile the game using the Makefile. You only need to enter to the root directory of the project and run:

make

To run the game execute the command:

./foodcollection <nRows> <nCols> [--training]

Notice that nRows is the number of rows of the map and nCols is the number of cols of the map.

Key bindings

• ESC exit the game.
• The arrows moves the player tank.
• A, S, D, W moves the player tank.
• R restarts the map.
• T switch the training mode on/off.
• J, K, L, I moves the camera.
• Spacebar shots the tank.
• + and - increase and decrease speed factor.

Arduino setup

In order to run the game using the Arduino game controller you need to install the Arduino IDE and the following libraries:

• Adafruit Sensor: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor
• Adafruit ADXL345: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_ADXL345
• DHT sensor library: https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library

The next step is to connect all the sensors to the Arduino board following the next specification:

Arduino connections

DHT

• Signal --> Digital 3
• - --> GND
• + --> 5V

ADXL345

• SDA -> A4
• SCL -> A5
• GND -> GND
• VCC -> 5V

Joystick

• SEL -> Digital 2
• VERT -> A1
• HORZ -> A0
• GND -> GND
• VCC -> 5V

Ultrasound

• Trig -> Digital 4
• Echo -> Digital 5
• GND -> GND
• VCC -> 5V

Heart Rate

• Black -> GND
• Red -> 5V
• Purple -> A2

Once you have prepared the Arduino environment you can flash the arduino sketch available on the arduino_sketch folder of the project.
