From the winter of 2007 to around May of 2008, I designed a game, commonly known as the Wacky Wire or Wacky Wizard that can be seen at carnivals and fairs. I used a Microchip PIC controller to control a stepper motor which rotates a stiff, coiled wire. The player can control the speed (relative to difficulty) and the direction of rotation of the wire. The object of the game is to navigate a ring around the rotating coil, without making contact with the coil, to a goal. If the player successfully traverses the coil, the motor halts and green lights flash. If the player makes contact with the coil at any point, the motor halts, red lights flash, and a piezoelectric device buzzes. I wrote all of the code in BASIC. It was a fun pet project that I had undertaken for a friend who wanted to master this common carnival game.
