Final project for Creative Computing, group project. We created two game controllers and code that works though Arduino to create a soccer/pong type game on the computer. We incorporated sound bytes, LED's and push buttons to acknowledge when some one scores and to move the player across the screen.

Code,

part 1:

int button1 = 0;

int button2 = 0;

int button3 = 0;

int button4 = 0;

int button5 = 0;

int button6 = 0;

int button7 = 0;

int button8 = 0;

int button9 = 0;

int button10 = 0;

// buttons 3-10

int ledPower = 0;

int player1 = 0;

int player2 = 0;

int inByte;

void setup(){

Serial.begin(9600); // begin serial communication

// '9600' speed of our arduino

pinMode(button1, INPUT); //variable name of your button

pinMode(button2, INPUT);

pinMode(button3, INPUT);

pinMode(button4, INPUT);

pinMode(button5, INPUT);

pinMode(button6, INPUT);

pinMode(button7, INPUT);

pinMode(button8, INPUT);

pinMode(button9, INPUT);

pinMode(button10, INPUT);

// buttons 3-10

pinMode(ledPower, OUTPUT);

pinMode(player1, OUTPUT);

pinMode(player2, OUTPUT);

}//END SETUP

void loop(){

if (Serial.available() > 0){ // If data coming from the Serial port is greater than 0,

inByte = Serial.read(); // Then let the variable 'inbyte' hold that data.

//READING SENSOR DATA

button1 = digitalRead(0); //pin on the Arduino

button2 = digitalRead(1); // read button 2

button3 = digitalRead(2); // read button 3

button4 = digitalRead(3); // read button 4

button5 = digitalRead(4); // read button 5

button6 = digitalRead(5); // read button 6

button7 = digitalRead(6); // read button 7

button8 = digitalRead(7); // read button 8

button9 = digitalRead(8); // read button 9

button10 = digitalRead(9); // read button 10

// buttons 3-10

// send sensor values:

Serial.print(button1, DEC); // Sending the data as a whole, human readable number, either 1 or 0.

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button2, DEC); // Sending the data as a whole, human readable number, either 1 or 0.

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button3, DEC); // Byte = machine code for a comma, to note separation.

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button4, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button5, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button6, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button7, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button8, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button9, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print(button10, DEC);

Serial.print(',', BYTE);

Serial.print('*', BYTE); // Send a '*' to denote the end of the data

}

Some of cloud computing advantages include minimal downtime from waiting on new hardware to arrive, installation, initialized, and finally brought online seems to be a growing trend.

Let's see. I'm writing something, I'm having my brain killed by Joomla (er, uh, Joomla!), and IMing Caryn about... chairs.
