Jeopardy game setup with software, hardware and firmware
based on the CCC beopardy project (2010).
Instead of the original CCC's microcontroller, this project uses an
Arduino Nano to control the buttons and lamps. The serial protocol
has been extended to indicate exactly at all times during the game
which players may buzz in and when.
The repo contains the following subdirectories:
arduino - the firmware for the Arduino Nano, controlling the
button lamps and signalling the buttons over the serial port to the PC/laptop running beopardy_2010
beopardy_2010 - the Jeopardy game software, written in Perl+Tk
This program displays the game board and implements
the game.
hardware - the game controller for push buttons and their lamps
