Initial Ideas¶
Single Player Battleship¶
My intial idea for a final project was a single player poker or blackjack table. I was turned away from this idea because of the complications I would have with programming a device to read 52 different card and run a probablitlity code to predict plays and chances of winning. Instead, I changed over to my backup idea that soon grew on me. I will make a single player battleship game that uses the classic folding style of battleship. With a device on the bottom tray to read your pieces and a digital rgb display(maybe neopixels) to show differnt colors if a hit, miss, or a sunk battleship occurs. I think that if I could make a speaker to say “you sunk my battleship” and calling out a place to land a piece.

Poker Table¶
For my Final Project an idea I had was an automated black jack table that would shuffle, deal, recognize card via rfid, predict chances of wining, and act as an artificial dealer to play alone. I would like for this device to be around the size of a placemat or about 50cm by 35cm. I would like to include a lcd screen that could show the move with the highest chance of winning by reaidng the playing cards with rfid stickers on them. In a perfect world I would also make a card shuffler and dealer to make the dealer fully automated. To hit, stand, double down, and maybe split I would use buttons. Here is a general sketch of my idea:
As for the components, I thought that I would cast and mold poker chips, use the shopbot to cut the board that it would sit on, and engrave a logo onto the board with the laser cutter.
