3. Our team is implementing a smartphone controlled marble maze. Players guide a marble through a maze by controlling the degree of tilt of the playing surface via a wireless link to a smartphone. The accelerometers in the smartphone capture the players' input and relay it to the game controller. The game controller then adjusts the tilt of the playing surface via stepper motors on each axis. Project Overview

4. 1.An ability to manipulate the playing surface via stepper motors. 2.An ability to control the playing surface with accelerometers in an iPhone and resistive joysticks. 3.An ability to detect the player's failure or success using IR gates. 4.An ability to display game statistics & configuration information on an LCD and play game related tones on a speaker. 5.An ability to store separate, specific game data on the board and on the iPhone. Project-Specific Success Criteria
