    • Descriptions

    In this project, we designed a classical arcade game - Fly-the-Copter Game. We implemented our own wrapper drivers to interface with low-level drivers such as the PS2 mouse driver and the video driver. However, we still have to determine the logic that refreshes the screen to desired output and the logic that maps the mouse input to our helicopter. We first drew out a high-level block diagram and started our implementation from there. We incorporated a module that generate the green walls, a module that controls the game and determines loses, and a module to do score keeping. We also drew our own pixelated helicopter by hand and plotted out on our screen with our driver.
