Arduino I2C Lcd display game

I would like to share a little game that I made.

Game is about a character that is trying not to smash into a any obstacles, which are approaching towards him.

Character position is toggled with button and when characted smashed the obsicle, gama is over and can be restarted with a press of a button.

To make the game less simple, it speed accelerates up to a certain speed.

Parts or tools you will need

Arduino Uno

Button

Lcd I2C display

Some male and female wires.

Libraries

You will only need one aditional library for controlling I2C display

Name: https://github.com/fmalpartida/New-LiquidCrystal

Circuit diagram

Circuit is simple. You only needed to connect display and button to Arduino. One side of button is connect to pin 7 other side is connected to GND (I am using INPUT_PULLUP in code, so there is no need for resistor). And display is connected as follows:

Lcd	Arduino Uno
GND	GND
Vcc	5V
SDA	A4
SCL	A5

Code explanation

Code is somehow messy and I would like to imporve it in future but it follows this flow:

Move character if button is pressed.

If some amount of time has pased it moves all blocks towards him and generate new block at the and.

It checks if character has smashed into a obstacle if yes the game ends.

Speeds up

There is a lot of things that you can change in code to make it more interesting for example if you want you can change a character symbol. For x it would be:

byte characterSymbol[8] = {

0b00000,

0b11011,

0b01110,

0b00100,

0b01110,

0b11011,

0b00000

};
