Project Goals

In this project, we aimed to create new features for the ESP version of the Spaceteam game. The ESP base code uses the ESPNOW communication protocol to model a simplified version of the Spaceteam mobile game. After playing both versions, our team thought the ESP version was much simpler and wanted to make it more similar to the mobile version. We brainstormed a few key features that we could add to the ESP base code:

• Randomize the controls that each player can perform with their buttons at regular intervals
• Change color of the task text to yellow and then red as the task time runs out
• Replicate the ship “falling apart” as players fail to address some of their tasks
• Incorporate a counter checkbox bar to keep track of how many mistakes are made
• Create a space-themed background for the game for some extra pizzazz

Keep reading below for detailed walkthroughs of our design processes and technical challenges in implementing each of these features.

Hardware

• ESP32 TTGO T-display
• USB-C cable with working data connections

Software

• Arduino IDE

(For more detailed instructions of how to set up the ESP32 TTGO T-display and Arduino IDE, refer to the [github README](- USB-C cable with working data connections))
