Can You Remember?

About

A brain-twisting memory game that stacks numbers, shapes, and colors into an expanding sequence you must recall flawlessly, complete with timed, multi-attribute challenges that push your memory to the limit.

History

Right before this project, I created the 4x4 brain teaser game, Find the Same Number from Korean TV show. And I noticed I was pretty bad at the game, so I wanted to create a warm up game. When I was trying to come up with what to make, I remembered I already created one from college, but it was on a physical microchip with its own LED and a slider. So I wanted the game to be harder and only digital, and this was created.

Minor Challenges

Having multiple difficulties needed their own handling process.

• Generating cards
• Displaying cards
• Displaying the palette
• Calculating the correct answer
• Timer for Hell difficulty

I wanted Wall of Fame to be persisted, so I made a simple read/write system to record players' scores. They are saved at path, "C:/Users/[Username]/AppData/Local/Remember/score.txt".
Random answer generator where there are 6 shapes and 6 colors to pull 3 from at the beginning and generate a random card properly for each round.

• Shapes: Circle, Diamond, Moon, Square, Star, Triangle
• Colors: Blue, Green, Grey, Orange, Red, Yellow

Concise Rules

Each round, an additional card will be shown. Your goal is to remember all the sequence of cards and submit them one at a time from the beginning. What a card shows depends on the difficulty of the game.

1. Easy
1. Each round, it will show you all the cards that have been shown with a new number (0-9).
2. For example, "3" is shown round 1, then round 2 could show "3" and "5". You must submit both "3" and "5" for round 2.
2. Intermediate
1. Same as Easy mode, except now a shape will be added with a number (3 shapes).
2. For example, round 1 may show "3 + moon", and round 2 will show "3 + moon" and "5 + circle".
3. Difficult
1. Same as Intermediate mode, except now a color will be added with a number and a shape (3 colors).
2. For example, round 1 may show "3 + moon + grey", and round 2 will show "3 + moon + grey" and "5 + circle + red".
4. Hell
1. Same as Difficult mode, except it will only show you the shapes and colors palette for 5 seconds, then it will be hidden.
2. Also each input will be timed for 5 seconds.

When you fail to give a correct answer, the board will show you what the correct answer is.
When the game ends, your name and score will be recorded on the Wall of Fame. 0 correct answers won't be recorded.
To change difficulty and/or stop playing current mode, you have to retype your name to activate "Play" button. When the game ends, "Play" button activates as well.
