First of all, we set Page to “0”, where necessary initializations are done for the program. SYSTICK is initialized for the body part of the game, and TIM3 is initialized for JOYPAD use only. Then, TFTLCD and Buzzer are initialized, Keys and their interrupts are initialized, as well as USART1 and USART1 interrupt.

Figure 7. USART1 interrupt exception and Page 3: USART Page
Inside the game page, TIM4 is initialized to record the elapsed time of the game (that’s why it is initialized after we enter Game Page). If buffer is smaller and equal to 51 (ASCII Code of 3), the ball will bounce to the right, otherwise, the ball will bounce to the left, which is controlled by “xdir”. “xdir” refers to X-axis direction, “xdir = 1” ball moves to the right and x increases; “xdir = -1” ball moves to the left and x decreases. The angle of bounce is controlled by the increment of y. Basically, the larger the buffer number is, the bigger the y step is. In total, there are 8 different initial directions as shown in the Figure8.
Figure 8. 8 different initial directions for the ball
The refreshment of the ball is put inside a while loop controlled by SYSTICK (task1HeartBeat count to 2 (20ms), Game Page will be refreshed). The idea is quite simple, the original ball is drawn white first and then x, y location of the ball will be updated according to the initial direction and difficulty level. Then, draw the ball red, we will see the ball moving. By the way, the difficulty level is controlled in a very clever way: the x and y step will be timed by “hard”, which is introduced before (“hard = 1” implies easy mode, “hard = 2” implies hard mode.) Thus, in hard mode, the ball will move 2 times faster than in easy mode.

Figure 9. Page 4: Game Page
For checking the boundary conditions of the ball. If x is between 10 to 470, the ball will move to its next location according “xdir”; if x is out of the range of 10 to 470 (the ball is out of the screen), “xdir” will be changed: +1 to -1, -1 to +1, thus, x will be updated to the opposite direction. The buzzer is turned on and tuned off after a while, Bounces is incremented by one and updated to the screen. The same scenario happens for the Y-axis. If y is between 20 to 780, the ball will move to its next location according “ydir” and the number of buffer; if y is out of the range of 20 to 780 (the ball is out of the screen), we check the x value. If x value is between x2 and x2 + 80 (y > 780, checking lower bench) or x1 and x1 + 80 (y < 20, checking upper bench) “ydir” will be changed: +1 to -1, -1 to +1, thus, y will be updated to the opposite direction. The buzzer is turned on and tuned off after a while, Bounces is incremented by one and updated to the screen; otherwise, the user failed to catch the ball using the bench and game over, we enter Page 5: End Page to break the while loop of Game Page. Some text indicating the winner will show on the screen.

During the game, KEY1 interrupt is enabled to pause and resume the game. If you press KEY1 for the first time (count = 0), Page is set to be 6. Thus, the processor will jump out of Game page and jump to Stop Page. Inside Stop Page, we print a sentence telling user that we are in Stop mode and set count to 1, then, enter an endless loop. Until KEY1 is pressed again (count = 1), the processor jumps to the interrupt exception and go back to Game Page and continue the game. Inside Game Page, count is set to 0 for the next pause.

Figure 19. Game page: Bounce at the right side, Number of Bounces +1
The ball will change its color before and after each successful bounce, which is one of the improvements I made in Experiment 2. If the report is printed colorful, it can be easily seen. I didn’t record the video for the original version, but it is still able to illustrate the test result. In the original version of Experiment 1, the ball will not change its color it is always red.
Figure 20. Game page: Bounce at the upper side, Number of Bounces +1, Upper Player Score +1
Figure 21. Game page: Bounce at the lower side, Number of Bounces +1, Lower Player Score +1
The right one of Figure 21, the ball is invisible for the Player as it changed to white because of the improvement as I mentioned before. The Player need to predict the next movement of the ball, which will add difficulty.
Figure 22. Pause and Resume Figure 23. End Page
We successfully completed step 2.2) to 2.8) and all the functions of game is achieved.
- As mentioned above, the first improvement is to change the ball color every time of successful bounces. The detailed code is shown below.

EIE3810_TFTLCD_DrawCircle(x,y, 10, 1, RED);

}
Figure 24. Change the ball color
We utilize Number of Bounces, the ball is invisible for the Player when it changed to white every 6 times of bounces. The Player need to predict the next movement of the ball, which will add difficulty and fun.
- The second improvement is that another feature of playing will the CPU is added. We will enter Page 10 for one more selection before the game (CPU or another player with JOYPAD).
if ((Page == 10) & (!CPU)){ //CPU Page
printString(100, 300, "Please select who you would like to play with:", WHITE, RED);

Figure 25: Page 10: CPU or JOYPAD selection Page
On this page, KEY_UP and KEY1 interrupts are used to select JOYPAD or CPU mode. An extern universal variant “CPU” is exported to the main program to indicate the mode. “CPU = 1” implies CPU mode, “hard = 0” implies JOYPAD mode.
if (EIE3810_read_KEY1() & (Page == 10)){ //CPU
printString(120, 350, "Play with another user with JoyPad.", BLUE, WHITE);
printString(120, 400, "Play with CPU.", WHITE, BLUE);

}
Figure 27. KEY_UP interrupt exception in Page 10 to select JOYPAD mode
During the game, if CPU mode is on, x1 (upper bench) will be automatically updated with respect to x (ball), thus, the Upper Player (CPU) will never lose. The JOYPAD will be disabled if CPU mode is on.
if (CPU){ // Play with CPU
EIE3810_TFTLCD_FillRectangle(x1, 80, 0, 5, WHITE);

- The third improvement is that both player had a chance to speed up the movement of the ball. If the ball is speeded up, “hard = 2*hard”, which will double the updating step of both x and y. Lower Player presses KEY_UP, Upper Player presses JOYPAD UP.
if (EIE3810_read_KEY_UP() & (Page == 4)){ //JoyPad
