1 : Objective

The objective of this project is to simulate a simplified version of the Monopoly board game using Arduino and a 16x2 LCD display. It allows multiple players to take turns, roll dice, move around the board, and interact with properties.

Steps for Building this Project :

Step 1: Take and Arduino Uno and attach it to the LCD Keypad Shield

Step 2 : Upload the code that I've Uploaded

2 : Game Logic

1. Initialization: The game starts with initializing the LCD display and prompting players to select the number of participants.
2. Turn Management: Players take turns rolling dice and moving their tokens on the board.
3. Dice Rolling: Players roll virtual dice to determine the number of spaces to move.
4. Token Movement: The player's token moves around the board based on the dice roll, with position updates displayed on the LCD.
5. Property Interaction: Players can interact with properties they land on, including purchasing unowned properties, paying rent if landed on an owned property, and skipping purchase if desired.
6. Property Ownership: The game tracks ownership of properties, allowing players to buy, sell, and collect rent.

1. Game Progression: The game progresses through multiple turns until a winning condition is met, such as one player owning all properties or players deciding to end the game.

3 : User Interface

1. LCD Display: Provides visual feedback to players throughout the game, including prompts, player turns, dice rolls, property information, and messages.
2. Button Input: Players interact with the game using directional buttons to navigate menus and select options, allowing for intuitive gameplay.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Enhanced Digital Board Game Interaction

The Smart Monopoly Dice (SMD) replaces physical dice with a high-tech, fair, and interactive digital alternative.

• OLED Animation Engine: Instead of just showing a number, the Arduino renders an animation of "Rolling Dice" on a sharp 128x64 I2C OLED. The final result is determined by the random() function seeded by analog noise.
• Tactile Switch Input: Features a large arcade-style button. The Arduino handles the "Long Press" for system reset and "Short Press" for a new roll, with robust software debouncing.

Game Specific Features

• Monopoly Rule Logic: Automatically identifies "Doubles" and alerts the player on-screen, potentially tracking the "Go to Jail" rule after three consecutive doubles.
