Total Prize money worth INR 60,000.

The problem is divided into two parts:

  1. The aim is to design a digital roulette consisting of LEDs arranged in circular fashion. The LEDs need to glow in sequence with initial high speed speed, which remains constant for some time and finally dies out slowly, just like in actual roulette. The LEDs on the roulette should to be numbered both positive and negative and the output should be totally random. In a way the roulette acts as a random number generator. Note the Minimum no. Of LEDS in Roulette should be 8.
  2. The output of roulette is fed to an  4X4(minimum) LED matrix on which the game ‘Snakes and Ladders’ is to be implemented. Snakes correspond to the negative output from the roulette whereas Ladders correspond to the positive numbers from the roulette. The game starts from one end of the LED matrix and ends when the other end is reached in a sequential pattern just as in the normal board game of snakes & ladder.

Extra Features

  • Additional snakes and ladders in LED matrix (predefined)
  • Sound features to roulette
  • Scoring system

Note: Innovations are welcome – let your minds loose.

As you should understand, the roulette (circular one displayed here) is just a way of displaying numbers according to which the player shall move. You can alter the design (or replace it by a “better” one). But remember a simpler display will fetch lower credit than a complex design.
