Sonic, jump!

Final Project: SDL - Arduino integration

For Linux users:

To play the game, run:

$ make

Then, you'll find the executable game in bin folder. Therefore, you could instead run:

$ make install
$ cd bin
$ ./'Sonic, jump!'

Remember you must have SDL installed:

$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev

Turn your Arduino UNO into a USB HID keyboard to play "Sonic, jump!":

Before you start, install the required packages. On Ubuntu and Debain systems, in a terminal run:

$ sudo apt-get install dfu-programmer dfu-util

Open the Arduino IDE and upload the sketch up_down_control.ino.
After everything flashes normally, briefly bridge the reset pin with the ground and then:

$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 erase
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 flash --debug 1 Arduino-keyboard-0.3.hex
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 reset

Unplug and plug the arduino. The Arduino UNO is already being recognized as a keyboard.

NOTES:

• For this example, the Arduino UNO has two buttons (digital pins 2 and 3), simulating the keyboard up and down buttons.
• The chip atmega16u2 may vary according to the arduino.
• The Arduino can only be flashed with skectches through the Adruino IDE if the Arduino-usbserial.hex bootloader is active.
  Again, briefly bridge the reset pin with the ground and then:

  $ sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 erase
  $ sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 flash --debug 1 Arduino-usbserial-uno.hex
  $ sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 reset
