Rock Papper Scissors

Status

This is current a work in progress.

• Most of the game logic is complete (two flippers should be able to play each other.)

Remaining work:

• UI to show images instead of text.
• Tone when button pressed.
• Show games found & let user pick the game to join.
• Log joined game into SD card.
• Log game results into SD card.
• Allow viewing past games/scores.
• Config - Allow changing game number.
• Config - Allow changing frequency.
• Config - Allow changing message on join.

Introduction

This is game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. In version 1, we use the subghz radio to find other players, communicate moves, and exchange contact information.

Installation Directions

This project is intended to be overlayed on top of an existing firmware repo.

• Clone, Build & Deploy an existing flipper zero firmware repo. See this tutorial for updating firmware.
• Copy the "rock_paper_scissors" folder to the \applications\plugins\rock_paper_scissors folder in your firmware.
• Build & deploy the firmware. See this tutorial for updating firmware.
• NOTE: You can also extract the rock_paper_scissors.FAP from resources.tar file and use qFlipper to copy the file to the SD Card/apps/Misc folder.

Open question - Should we use "applications" or "applications_user"?

Running the updated firmware

These directions assume you are starting at the flipper desktop. If not, please press the back button until you are at the desktop.

• Press the OK button on the flipper to pull up the main menu.

• Choose "Applications" from the menu.

• Choose "Games" from the sub-menu.

• Choose "Rock Paper Scissors"

• Do the same steps on your second Flipper.

• Once two players are joined:

  • Press "OK" to send "1". The other player should also press "OK" to send "1" back (at the same time!)
  • Press "OK" to send "2". The other player should also press "OK" to send "2" back (at the same time!)
  • Press "UP" to send a "Rock", or "RIGHT" to send a "Paper", or "DOWN" to send a "Scissors". The other player should send at same time!
  • Rules:
    • Rock beats Scissors.
    • Paper beats Rock.
    • Scissors beat Paper.
    • Two identical items tie.

• Press the BACK button to exit.

HackRF One

• If you do not have two Flipper Zero devices, you can use a HackRF One to record messages & broadcast those messages at a future date. I made a YouTube video demo of how to record and broadcast messages.

• To record a message: (replace "flipper-chat.rf" with the file name you want to use, such as "select-rock.rf".)

sudo hackrf_transfer -r flipper-chat.rf -f 433920000 -s 8000000

• To broadcast a message: (replace "flipper-chat.rf" with the saved file name.)

sudo hackrf_transfer -r flipper-chat.rf -f 433920000 -s 8000000 -x 47

• What I typically do is:
  • Use the Flipper Zero to send a messasge that I record, then I play back that message at a later time when I want to pretend the other Flipper Zero is sending a message. You can use the chat app in https://lab.flipper.net/cli, like shown in the video to send a specific packet (or you can use your own code to create the packet.)
  • Use the HackRF One to record the message from my Fliiper Zero. Then later I use the chat app in https://lab.flipper.net/cli, to see what the message was (or I replay the message to see how my application would respond.)
