Introduction

Today Gaming has turned from a source of entertainment to a Multi Million-dollar industry. With the introduction to the Android Operating System in Smartphones, gaming has become part and parcel of the life that seems to fit in a pocket. Gaming Machines were highly popular in the 20th Century. The Gaming Machines were popularized because of the Gambling Slots which was Coin Operated Machine. The evolution of video games at the end of the 20th Century and the Play Stations at the beginning of the 21st Century captured the market of the traditional Gaming Machines. Now we have Gaming Machines that have the ability to function on 3d Graphics, support Augmented and Virtual Reality. The modern Gaming Machines makes use of sensors to capture Body and Brain Movements to make the games realistic.

PlayStation

PlayStation is a video game brand that consists of four home video game consoles, as well as a media centre, an online service, a line of controllers, two handhelds and a phone, as well as multiple magazines. The brand is produced by Sony Interactive Entertainment, a division of Sony, with the first console releasing as the PlayStation in Japan released in December 1994, and worldwide the following year.The original console in the series was the first console of any type to ship over 100 million units, doing so in under a decade. Its successor, the PlayStation 2, was released in 2000. The PlayStation 2 is the best-selling home console to date, having reached over 155 million units sold by the end of 2012. Sony's next console, the PlayStation 3, was released in 2006, selling over 87.4 million units by March 2017. Sony's latest console, the PlayStation 4, was released in 2013, selling a million units within a day, becoming the fastest-selling console in history. The next console in the series, the PlayStation 5, is expected to be released by the end of 2020.

Nintendo Co., Ltd.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company headquartered in Kyoto. Its international branches, Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe, are respectively headquartered in Redmond, Washington, and Frankfurt, Germany. Nintendo is one of the world's largest video game companies by market capitalization, creating some of the best-known and top-selling video game franchises of all-time, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Pokémon. Nintendo was founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi on 23 September 1889 and originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. By 1963, the company had tried several small niche businesses, such as cab services and love hotels, without major success. Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s, Nintendo developed into a video game company in the 1970s. Supplemented since the 1980s by its regional branches Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe, it ultimately became one of the most influential in the video game industry and one of Japan's most valuable companies, with a market value of over US$37 billion by 2018.

Inspiration

T-Rex Runner (Google Dinosaur Game)

The T-Rex Runner game is an easter-egg game that can be played when a user is browsing Chrome offline. It is a simple infinite runner. The T-Rex character is known as Lonely T-Rex.

“How long does it take to beat the game?

The Engineers at Google built it to max out at approximately 17 million years, the same amount of time that the T-rex was alive on Earth… but we feel like your spacebar may not be the same afterwards.”

Origins

T-Rex Runner was initially released on 6 September 2014. Its creators were Edward Jung, Sebastien Gabriel, and Alan Bettes.

Design and Development

The creators of the game wanted to create a fun design for when Chrome couldn't connect to the internet. The idea of the game as an easter-egg within the “you-are-offline” page was born in early 2014. The project was known as Project Bolan. Ideas for the dinosaur to do things such as kicking and roaring came early on, but it was decided to stick to the basics, with simple running, ducking, and jumping.

How to Play

From September 2014, tapping the dinosaur (in Android or iOS) or pressing space or up (on desktop) launches the game in which the player controls a running dinosaur by tapping the screen (in Android or iOS) or, on desktop, pressing space or up (to jump) or down (to crouch) to avoid obstacles, including cacti and pterodactyls. Pressing buttons to jump for different amounts of time will result in differently heightened jumps. Pressing down while in the air will cause the dinosaur to fall faster.

Brief Description of each Component

• Stepper motor

A stepper motor or step motor or stepping motor is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any position sensor for feedback (an open-loop controller), as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application in respect to torque and speed.

• Breadboard

A breadboard is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. Originally it was literally a bread board, a polished piece of wood used for slicing bread. In the 1970s the solderless breadboard (a.k.a. plugboard, a terminal array board) became available and nowadays the term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to these. Because the solderless breadboard does not require soldering, it is reusable. This makes it easy to use for creating temporary prototypes and experimenting with circuit design. For this reason, solderless breadboards are also popular with students and in technological education. Older breadboard types did not have this property.

• Adruino MEGA 2560

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a widely used open-source microcontroller board based on the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller and developed by Arduino.cc. The board is equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits.

• USB cable

USB (abbreviation of Universal Serial Bus) is an industry standard that establishes specifications for cables, connectors and protocols for connection, communication and power supply between personal computers and their peripheral devices.

• MATLAB

MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, Fortran and Python
