PWM Simulator, v1.5

2D puzzle game for Android inspired by pulse-width modulation and various side-scrolling games.

Store the game stats in the FlatDB database, store the game configuration in a JSON file, and support resizing of the game window.

Features

• plots:
  • they display functions of time (as in an oscilloscope);
  • they are initially initialized by the average value over the entire length;
  • random plot:
    • it is updated with a random shift from the last value;
    • it takes up three-quarters of the screen width;
  • custom plot:
    • it is updated with a custom shift from the last value:
      • custom shift can be positive (the plot grows);
      • custom shift can be negative (the plot shrinks);
    • it takes up half of the screen width;
  • custom source plot:
    • it is updated by either the minimal or maximal value;
    • it takes up half of the screen width;
  • configuration:
    • options:
      • speed of motion of the plots;
      • amount of plot points per screen;
      • coefficients:
        • of updation of the random plot;
        • of updation of the custom plot:
          • in the inactive mode;
          • in the active mode;
• game stats:
  • metrics:
    • percentage of time when the distance between the random and custom plots was normal;
    • percentage of time when the distance between the random and custom plots fit within the soft limit;
    • percentage of time when the distance between the random and custom plots fit within the hard limit;
  • types:
    • current;
    • best;
  • storing the game stats in the FlatDB database:
    • regular saving with a certain period;
  • configuration:
    • options:
      • amount of points per screen for checking the distance between the random and custom plots;
      • limits of the distance between the random and custom plots:
        • soft limit;
        • hard limit;
      • period of saving of the game stats;
• pause mode:
  • stopping of updating:
    • of the plots;
    • of the game stats;
• drawing:
  • drawing of plot boundaries;
  • drawing of plots;
  • drawing of a type of distance between the random and custom plots:
    • normal distance;
    • distance that fits within the soft limit;
    • distance that fits within the hard limit;
  • drawing of the game stats:
    • dynamic width of the stats labels:
      • width is selected by the maximum of the current and best values;
    • delay of updating of the best stats:
      • update starts only after all initial values of the custom plot have left the screen;
  • drawing of the pause mode;
  • support of resizing of the game window;
• game configuration:
  • loading from a JSON file;
  • validation via the JSON Schema.
