1 Introduction: 1.1 Project Summary For our final project we implemented a Graduate from Cornell video game that puts the user through three challenges (one for each year of an accelerated three year program) which they must complete to earn credits toward graduation. Our original plan was to simulate a typical four year program but […]

Introduction Nova Strike is a 2D space shooter game implemented with an Atmel ATmega32 microcontroller. The inspiration came from our love of video games and fond memories of playing space shooters on our TI-89 graphing calculators in high school (instead of paying attention in calculus class). Our project is based on the revolutionary arcade game,

Introduction Our project is a UPC-A Barcode Scanner complete with a pricing/description database interface. Our original goal for this project was to build a standard barcode scanner from scratch, but as the project evolved so had to our specification of the project. We initially sought to build a charge-coupled device (CCD) scanner, which scans the
