When I was starting my project, I was lost as to what kind of project should I create. After a while of brainstorming, I was able to come with a plan. I’m going to make a Roulette game.

Firstly, I didn’t think about what kind of color or material I should use. However, firstly I thought is it possible to make the code because I felt like the code of the program looks intimidating. Even though I have a little coding experience with using Lua.

 

After my idea it, turned into planning. I came up with a plan that the roulette game is a game board that will contain 7 pieces of felt. 3 for the appearance, two for the board (White, Black), and two for the back. With this, I was able to get a big idea of how long the project will take, and I know it’s going to be tight. After knowing what materials, Color should I use. I started moving into the planning of the conductive felt LED. For planning the LED. For the project, I realized I need a lot of LEDs to make my board stand out. So, I wanted to use 5 LEDs. The LEDs needed to be packed together and that meant the conductive thread has to be exact or else it might disturb the current and failure of the circuit. So, I carefully planed the routes of the thread showing where each positive/negative should go.

 

Later in the project, I realized my plan have a huge mistake that I didn’t realize, I have to change the orientation of my circuits because I was planning my project without the circuit orientated. Another mistake that I encountered was accidentally sewing the conductive thread wrong causing me to restart the whole project which is kind of a pain.

Restarting my whole project picture Also cutting felt like a whole piece to conserve time

After the project, I made some reflections. One example is, I realized how important planning is to conserve time and able to do every step correctly. Also, try to stick with your plan because it’s very time-consuming to go back and replay the whole project maybe just because of a small change in the project. Lastly, I want to say is to tie the end knot tight, or else it might fall apart after just tugging a little.

Game Rule:

Place a bet or choose the one you want to land on IRL

Then press conductive Felt to allow the wheel to spin

Land or didn’t land

Final Project

In the future maybe I can improve my codes so it makes my game more interactive and fun to play with.
