Hi,Could you possibly confirm whether there are any teaching notes with this game project concerning the programming? I am using Circuit Wizard for PIC programming but struggling to create teaching resources without imperfections in the flowchart aspect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best Wishes,
Martyn

The chip is pre-programmed with code specifically for this application it is not a PICAXE or Genie chip, but written in assembly language code. It is therefore not possible to reprogram the chip without Microchip development tools. The code is fairly complex and not something that you would be able to recreate using a flow chart. I would have thought that you would be best looking at how flowcharts work with a simpler task and then explain that the way that the software in the game is written is done using text based instructions. The program is about 500 lines in length, so it's not something you really want to be studying.
