E-Frog Developers

The objective of this project is to provide an easy, fun, and interactive way to facilitate a coin throwing skill game. The E-Frog Game purpose is to look for a way out of people's daily and stressful life, helping them forget of their problems, and give them a boost much needed. The challenging part was designing and building this new fun product that had never been implemented to this scale before. Adding a score keeping display, lights animation system, audio system, score panel, coin dispenser, and threshold sensor; everything controlled under the supervision and command of the main microcontroller unit.

E - FROG GAME: Today's biggest cause of problems is the stress. People get too concerned about their agitated lifestyle, overloaded with too much work, family stress, lack of time for their enjoyment, and bad habits of sleep. We: Astrid, Jaime, and Carlos are part of this stressful society since we have to deal daily with the load of responsibilities such as full time jobs, time with the family, school classes and homework. It has been over a year since we study together and we found a way to relax in between study time, and one of the big sources of relaxation that we found was the "Sapo Game" that Carlos has in his house and brought it from Peru, South America. We all loved this game since day one because it is a very traditional game played in Colombia and Peru. As the months went by, we thought… "Why we don't implement and create an electronic version of this fun game and make it easier to use and more attractive?" Studying and working hard every day could be stressful and tiring for many people. In addition, we noticed that student's daily routine can cause exhaustion, and might influence in the class performance and therefore have some consequences in their grades. Our group thought about an innovative design that will resolve the issues of students and employees in means of stressful situations. The Electronic Frog Game is an intelligent hi-tech product made with high quality components. It is easy to use indoors or outdoors and the most important fact is that you will enjoy every time you play with it. We decided to call this innovative concept the E-FROG GAME, or in other words the Electronic Entertainment Coin Throwing Game.
