Hello hello? Hey, you’re doing great! Most people don’t last this long!…I mean, y’know. They usually move on to other classes by now. I’m not implying that they failed, that’s not what I meant…anyways, I better not take up too much of your time, things start getting real on this blog post - at least you’d hope so, given that it’s the final one. We’ve reached the end of this semester, which means it’s time for the final controller design!
This controller is meant to mimic the layout of the office you’re located in during FNAF 1, for a more immersive experience. Unfortunately, having tiny little door buttons would be far too finesse for a game where you’ll likely be jumping any time you need to press a button. So, I chose touch sensors for the door buttons to mimic the idea of slamming a door button. Using light sensors seemed like an obvious choice, but wound up having some ironic logic: you cover the light sensor in order to turn on the lights in-game. Maybe it’s something like turning out the overhead lights to find something glowing in your room. There are also 4 total LEDs (two on each side) used to signal the state of the doors & lights in-game: one RGB LED that changes between red and green depending on the door’s status of open or closed, and one white LED that lights up/flickers when the lights are active.

The potentiometer and toggle switch in the stage floor are parallels, yet opposites. The toggle switch allows for camera movement; since the game is controlled with the mouse, this is the only way you’re able to move the game camera without pressing buttons you don’t want to. The potentiometer is how you control the cameras; clamped into 10 sections, with the first one meaning that the cameras are closed, and the subsequent 9 opening the 9 security cameras you see in the game. It’ll lead to a lot of flashing cameras, but luckily with FNAF 1 it’s not seeing the big picture that’s important, it’s tricking the animatronics - specifically Foxy - into thinking you’re looking at him.

For my design question: what kinds of props should I add to the miniature office?
Thanks for sticking with this project for this long. Catch you on the flip side!
