Creating games using Ladder Logic

[Skeematic]

I have an assignment do this week on creating a game using ladder logic. I don't have a clue as to what I could create using Ladder Logic for the Allen Bradley SLC 500. I am looking for some ideas how to get started. Can some one help me?

Thanks in Advance

Do you have more details?? What kind of game? How are you to interact with the PLC to during the game? Do you have a test kit that has lights and switches on it?

To be able to help you we will need a lot more info.

One thing I was just thinking about, you could use colored lighted push buttons and create a game like Simon. Google it if you are too young to know what Simon is

I think Simon Says would be a good game to work on. I believe the trainer we are using will support the necessary lighting. I just played the game a few times online and it seems to involves the storing of memory and having it recalled in the exact same order. Would that require the use of a shift register maybe? I would appreciate any suggestions on how to develope this kind of logic.

Thanks

No, a simplified version of the Simon Says game can be done without a shift register, by using a Pseudo-Random Number Generator. See these old threads for how others have done it. Of course you can use the Sequencer instructions SQO and SQL if you really want your program to be more advanced.
