ΩHero (Arduino)
CMPUT 274 Assignment 3 (Final Project)

DESCRIPTION
	This game is modeled based off of GUITAR HERO and TAP TAP REVENGE
	Currently features 7 amazing songs!! We recommend: Chinese and Song in C Major.
	Don't miss any notes, since you will lose lives.
	Features: randomly generated play and music! (it still sounds great though, except for dissonance in no particular key)

TO RUN THE CODE
	Unzip the folder
	Open terminal to the unzipped directory
	Type "make" into the terminal
	Connect your Arduino Mega 2560 to the virtual machine, wired as below
	Type "make upload; serial-mon" into the terminal to upload the code to the Arduino

ACCESSORIES
	1x Arduino Mega 2560
	1x Adafruit_ILI9341 Touchscreen
	1x Piezo Buzzer
	Assorted wires

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
  Adafruit_ILI9341 Screen [pin from screen -> pin to Arduino]:
    GND -> GND
    Vin -> 5V
    3Vo  NOT CONNECTED
    CLK -> 52
    MISO -> 50
    MOSI -> 51
    CS  -> 10
    D/C -> 9
    RST  NOT CONNECTED
    Lite  NOT CONNECTED
    Y+ -> A2 (analog pin)
    X+ -> 4  (digital pin)
    Y- -> 5  (digital pin)
    X- -> A3 (analog pin)
    IM0 NOT CONNECTED
    IM1 NOT CONNECTED
    IM2 NOT CONNECTED
    IM3 NOT CONNECTED
    CCS -> 6
    CD NOT CONNECTED
	Piezo Buzzer [Choice of Lead1 and Lead2 of the buzzer is arbitrary]:
		47 (Arduino) -> Lead1 (buzzer) -> |Piezo Buzzer| -> Lead2 (buzzer) -> 5V (Arduino)

FILE STRUCTURE
	screenLogic.cpp is the main file which contains the functions for the game as
		a whole as well as the imports from other files
	menus.cpp handles drawing, updating and interacting with the menu system
	sorting.cpp handles the sorting of the song list using Quicksort
	menus.h / sorting.h are the header files for the above two files, respectively
	song.h is the structure for the storage of song metadata

GAME INSTRUCTIONS
	- Most information is obvious through on screen instructions
	- The Back button always sends you to the previous screen or exits a submenu
	- The scroll arrows on the right of the screen become active if there is more
			information off screen in that direction.  Press them to scroll up or down
	- In the Difficulty Select screen, Easy Mode sets your starting lives to 5 and
	 		Hard Mode sets your starting lives to 1
	- In the Song Select screen you can select the song you wish to play to
			begin the game
	- The Sort submenu in Song Select lets you modify the order in which the songs
	 		are displayed on in the list, based on the listed parameter
	- Highscores are listed from song with the highest score to song with the
			lowest (unless no scores are recorded, in which case it is alphabetical by title)
	- In game tap the circles at the bottom of the screen as the "note" is passing
			through it to score points.  If you are incorrect with your timing you
			will lose a life and not score a point.
	- If you reach 0 lives you lose the game, and if your final score was higher
			than the previous highest score for that song it will be saved as a new High Score!

HELP AND INFO
	- The touch screen is oriented differently than it was in previous projects,
			such that the top of the screen is the side furthest from the Arduino
	- The touch screen can seem to be a bit inaccurate in the menus at times, but
			that is because the actual main point of contact of your finger to the
			screen is lower than you would expect
	- The wiring is relatively straightforwards
	- The serial monitor displays information of the execution of the code, such
			as output from the sorting methods, however it is not used as an input
			and is not required to play the game
	- The game is played entirely through the touch screen, thus all menu navigation
	 		and gameplay is handled there.  It should be intuitive what each button
			does, but the game instructions above are more explicit
	- The length and difficulty of each song has no bearing on gameplay and are purely
			for demonstrating the multiple options for sorting the list.  The actual
			difficulty of the game is controlled in the Difficulty Select menu.
	- Each song corresponds to a different set of sounds with a semi-random sequence
			of "notes" to hit, with each game ending when you run out of lives
	- High Scores reset upon restarting the Arduino
	- If adding new songs to the song list make sure to add the metadata to the
			appropriate location of each array for the name, length (in seconds),
			difficulty (1-3, 3 being the hardest), source game title, and composer / artist
	- If you have added or removed any songs be sure to modify the numsongs
			variable and the initial size of the songs array
	- The order of the audio notes in the song is a set of preset arrays of frequencies
			in the different keys which are chosen at random
	- The order of the visual notes (that you tap in game) is based on a semi-random
			array of preset values

NOTE
	Implements code created by TAs and instructors of the course (from eClass)
	Wiring instructions based on ones from eClass
