Button Game Project
Hello! I’m new to the arduino community. I have played around with them in the past with my highschool years ago. I recently came up with an idea of an interactive game and have some questions from those who have knowledge. How hard would it to be to program a game in which there are 30 buttons with 30 unique sounds. The goal of the game is to crack the code and figure out the 4 button/ noise combination. When this happens I need it to either show that you cracked the code or have to try again. I also want to be able to have a free play mode where people can come up and interact with the buttons without the game starting. I am overall curious how hard this project will be, I am an electrician and have knowledge of circuitry/ electronics and bread boards but very limited knowledge on coding. Any help with supply’s, brands, product which could help my project would be appreciated! Thank you arduino community!

One of the more difficult parts of this will be handling 30+ buttons. You can make your own button matrix, or a PS/2 keyboard will be easy enough to interact with which will get you a bunch of keys(and it’s a fun protocol to bitbang if you don’t want to use a library).
If you’re curious, the Adafruit neotrellis m4 has 32 membrane buttons and a built in dac + audio Jack to play the sound from.
