Dino Game for ESP32

A simple dino runner game developed for the ESP32 microcontroller using an SSD1306 OLED display.

Hardware Requirements

• Microcontroller: ESP32
• Display: SSD1306 OLED (128x64)
• Input:
  • Button 1: Jump (Pin 4)
  • Button 2: Crouch (Pin 16)

Features

• Controls: Dedicated buttons for jumping and crouching.
• Animations: Animated dino walking/crouching steps and bird wing flapping.
• Obstacles:
  • Cactus: Standard ground obstacle.
  • Bird: Flying obstacle (requires crouching). Starts appearing after score 10.
• Difficulty: Speed increases every 10 points after reaching score 20.

Setup

PlatformIO

This project is structured for PlatformIO. Clone the repository and upload to your ESP32.

Arduino IDE

If using the Arduino IDE, simply copy the contents of src/main.cpp into a new sketch. Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed:

• Adafruit GFX Library
• Adafruit SSD1306

Arduino version has lower framerate due to the device limitations. If you can manage to make it run faster, please open a PR.

Tools Used

• Assets: 1-bit Image Canvas (https://arifesat.github.io/1bit-Image-Canvas/) to create and edit images.
