Hello Guys, i have a school project

Projects General Guidance

In this wonderful school project, we have to make a ping pong game. We want it to only be a one sided game, so theres only 1 player that can play the game. If you guys would be so kind to help me (im dumb). its a Arduino UNO R4 WIFI, and it has to project on a 16x16 FastLED

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category.
In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose. You posted in a category that said do not post here

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

If you are dumb, you would better get to another forum.
If you are willing to learn. Make a first try.
Read a sensor or display whatever on your 16x16 display.
If stuck, get back here...

just copy then. Your teacher will know and you'll have to face the music at some point...

or don't copy, start to learn, work hard and stop being "dumb".... (which you probably are not)

That is very easy, even for a dumb and lazy dog like me. Just 3 simple steps:

  1. Learn how it works, how to connect it, how to program it.
  2. Connect it, program it.
  3. Test and fix the errors (many times).

Then, when you are stuck, come back here with all the details, schematic and code, and explain the concrete problem and we will try to help.

dumb means you can't speak
stupid means you have low mental capability
ignorant means there is something you don't yet know.

Moving on...

I'll give you some starting advice.

  1. get your led's connected and working.
  2. get your input control connected and working.

Move away from the Arduino for now, sit back and think of the instructions you would follow if you were the pong game.

My guess is you would need to know:

  • the direction of the "ball" as it comes toward you
  • the location of the ball as it hits you
  • how fast the ball in hitting you.

You need to decide (calculate) you response:

  • what direction do you send the ball back as
  • what speed (likely a little lower than received)

You should realize this project has little to do with Arduino, it has to do with your ability to solve complex problems. So don't get caught up in the Arduino code until you have figured out how the "System" must work.

I like to use Flow charting to help me with such projects.
