The ultimate memory game

To begin...

To check the wiring of this project I wrote a little test code. When you press a button, the corresponding light would light up

testcode

const int BUTTON_PIN1 = 2; // definiëren van de poorten
const int BUTTON_PIN2 = 3; 
const int BUTTON_PIN3 = 4;   
const int LED_PIN1 =  5;  
const int LED_PIN2 =  6; 
const int LED_PIN3 =  7; 

int buttonState1 = 0;   //definiëren van de variable en ze instellen op 0
int buttonState2 = 0;
int buttonState3 = 0;

void setup() {
  
  pinMode(LED_PIN1, OUTPUT);   //definiëren van de outputs
  pinMode(LED_PIN2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN3, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN1, INPUT_PULLUP);   //definiëren van de inputs
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN2, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN3, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {
  buttonState1 = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN1);  //variable controleren
  buttonState2 = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN2);
  buttonState3 = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN3);
  
  if(buttonState1 == LOW)        
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN1, HIGH);
  else if(buttonState2 == LOW)        
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN2, HIGH);
  else if(buttonState3 == LOW)        
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN3, HIGH);
  else                           
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN1, LOW); 
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN2, LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN3, LOW); 
}

The program

To start, we need to define all the pins, this way we can give the pins a name and don't have to use a pin number each time. Next, we need to set which pins are input and output. Since we opted for a 'grounded' or 'pullup' button, we'll include this info as well. Finally, we'll also add our variable for the buttons that we need.

const int BUTTON_PIN1 = 2;
const int BUTTON_PIN2 = 3; 
const int BUTTON_PIN3 = 4;   
const int LED_PIN1 =  5;   
const int LED_PIN2 =  6; 
const int LED_PIN3 =  7; 

int buttonState1 = 0;   
int buttonState2 = 0;
int buttonState3 = 0;

void setup() {
  
  pinMode(LED_PIN1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN3, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN1, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN2, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN3, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

random number

To grab random LEDs we use a random number generator. The Arduino has a random number generator built in, so with a bit of code we can make 3 LEDs light up randomly. To do this we need to add a new variable to our 'define place' (from above). We call this 'randNumber'. Then we put the code at our 'setup place' randomSeed(analogRead(0));. To then get a random number we need the code randNumber = random(4); to use. The randNumber is our variable, and the 4 stands for any number between 0 and 4.

This is what our code looks like now:

const int BUTTON_PIN1 = 2;
const int BUTTON_PIN2 = 3; 
const int BUTTON_PIN3 = 4;   
const int LED_PIN1 =  5;   
const int LED_PIN2 =  6; 
const int LED_PIN3 =  7; 
long randNumber;          //<--
int buttonState1 = 0;   
int buttonState2 = 0;
int buttonState3 = 0;


void setup() {
  randomSeed(analogRead(0));   //<--
  pinMode(LED_PIN1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN3, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN1, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN2, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN3, INPUT_PULLUP);
}
