Goal

Develop software for controlling the equipment of a game studio:
• lighting
• screens
• sound.

About the studio

The rules of the game and the design of the studio are inspired by the Ukrainian TV show "Who will win?"
There are 2 teams, with 4 members each. Guys play against girls. In order to win the teams perform various tasks:
• answer quiz questions;
• put together a word out of the letters given;
• change places: girls do the tasks that guys normally do and vice versa.

Development

It took a total of 60 days to develop.

Over this time we
• Created an administration panel to manage games, view multimedia files, control sound, and lighting, pause, resume and restart the game.
• Created a game server to run multiple games at the same time.
• Created a game application with 8 types of rounds.
• Implemented the following game challenges: a quiz similar to “Who wants to be a millionaire?”, “Change places”, “Put together a word”, etc. After each round, the winning team is asked a bonus question. They give a numerical answer, the permissible error is 10% both ways.
• Lighting and sound controlled by Arduino and Wi-Fi are activated by the victory in the round: if the girls win, the light in the studio turns pink, if the guys win, it turns blue. 20 lamps are manually configured through the administration panel.
