AIrsoft Time Bomb Game

robman991 · February 22, 2022, 2:36am

Hey everyone....I know this topic has been discussed before but I didn't see any resolutions on, only that it was closed. I have found many codes online for airsoft time bomb games and as I am just getting started in learning how to code, I am hoping some of you can help me out a little.
Here is what I want to do.

Have a menu to select the game time.
Arm the bomb with a 4 digit code.
Use an RGB strip to chase each second with a tone playing for the second.
Use the same RGB strip to blink Green and another color if the bomb is disabled while playing 2 alternating tones.
If the bomb code is put in wrong, say wrong code on the LCD and take 2 minutes off the game time and play an irritating tone....lol
When under 2 minutes, if wrong code entered, take 59 secs off.
If the time runs out or too many attempts to disarm have caused the time to run out, play alternating horrible tones, display BOOM You're DEAD and use the RGB strip to flash RED, YELLOW and ORANGE colors.

Honestly, a lot of that is already in the code with some changes I have already made but I am having issues. Here are the issues:

I think some of what is in the void setup area should be in the void loop area but when I move it, it constantly loops putting in a new code and never starts the game.
If I leave the voide setup alone and add the RGB strip to the places where I want to use it instead of a single LED, the countdown part works, but now you cant push the key on the keypad to enter the disable code.
Those are my issues. Here is the code.....Im sure I am going to post this wrong so please tell me how to do it right.

This is the code with it working without the RGB Strip:

#include <Tone.h>


#include <Keypad.h>

int currentLength = 0; //defines which number we are currently writing

You should focus on this first. You want to eat more than you can chew…

Do simple projects with each component and understand the foundation of the language

robman991 · February 22, 2022, 3:42pm

Thank you for your reply but I am looking for help and not words of wisdom.

J-M-L · February 22, 2022, 3:49pm

OK I thought I was being helpful. Good luck

robman991 · February 22, 2022, 4:04pm

Your help is very appreciated, but I still need to solve the issue. Maybe some guidance would help?

J-M-L · February 22, 2022, 4:06pm

really the code is just a big mess... with blocking sections and delays or pieces that show you just don't understand what you do like

    char key = keypad.getKey();
    key == NO_KEY; // <==== WHY ??
    if (key != NO_KEY)

it would need a complete rewrite as a state machine for example.. hence the recommendation to start from building a better foundation...

robman991 · February 22, 2022, 4:22pm

Gottcha.....yeah I dont know why the No Key is there.....but Im trying to do this for my kids and its taking too long to learn it on my own. Im watching youtube videos but I am actually learning more from trying to fix code like this but I cant figure out why when I add the couple of lines at the end of the code to replace the digitalwrite for the LEDS with the chaser on the RGB strip, why the disarm part stops working

J-M-L · February 22, 2022, 4:27pm

look at Using millis() for timing. A beginners guide and Several things at the same time

that would give you some hint on how to structure code so that you can blink the leds and listen to the keypad at the same time

Paul_B · June 27, 2022, 11:04pm

Amazingly time-consuming and sadly unreliable way to learn!
