Hi everyone,
Simon is my student in my software design class. He is trying to create a simon says game on the esplora with an lcd screen attached. He needs to be able create an array to store the value of the first colour then match the keypress then if it's correct add another colour to the sequence and continue with the matching the keypresses with the colours generated. This will continue until 10 colours are correctly matched and the game ends. I am guessing he needs to create a dynamically increasing array. If anyone can help he's appreciate it.

We have added some debugging output statements but it is no longer recording the input from the buttons which he needs to check against the random colour that is generated. Thanks for the array info we/he have added that to the code and it appears to be working. We would be grateful for any further help.
We tried most of what you suggested. Some worked and some didn't for various reasons. My knowledge of c is limited and esplora is limited. I teach the basics to our year 9's and 10's. This is my first time using the lcd screen. It was my idea to make the simon game. Here is where we're up to after today's lesson. The project is due after in about 3 weeks but we have a 2 week holiday starting at the end of the week.

Yes I was frustrating both of us and have been getting some tuition from a colleague on how the Arduino code works. I am a lot closer to a solution than I was before as I now have a clearer idea of what is happening. I have always felt that c++ was difficult but I am starting to have a better understanding.
Here is the code as it stands at the moment. The pattern is generated and now stops flashing when it has done 4 colours. It then waits for you to push 4 buttons and then tells you well done on the serial monitor.
The only thing left is to make sure that the sequence is matching before it says well done. Personally this is enough of a challenge at the moment.
