Gamecontrol

The Gamecontrol repository contains the code for the Raspberry Pi which controls the whole game. In the following this Raspberry Pi is called Gamecontrol. In addition the repository contains the code used to access the displays and play sounds. The Raspberry Pi which runs this code is further called Displaycontrol.

Structure

The entry point for the gamecontrol is the CrazyComet class in src/main.py. This is a subclass of Game from game_sdk.gamecontrol (See the sdk documentation). To start the game CrazyComet.run() is executed.

The entry point for the display is the Display class in src/display.py. It is a subclass of Game from game_sdk.passive (See the sdk documentation). To start the game Display.run() is executed.

Apart from this the src folder consists of a hardware, controls, fonts and assets folder which will be explained below.

Hardware

This is the hardware abstraction layer. It is used to expose hardware interfaces to the rest of the programm.

As defined in the HAL baseclass, every HAL class should have the following methods:

• __init__()
• close()

Controls

This folder contains all classes which interact with the game. They usually instantiate one or more HAL classes to control the hardware depending on the game.

Fonts

This folder contains the fonts used to display text on the displays.

Assets

This folder contains assets like images or audio files.
