How it works
Simon says is a simple electronic memory game: the user has to repeat a growing sequence of colors. The sequence is displayed by lighting up the LEDs. Each color also has a corresponding tone.
In each turn, the game will play the sequence, and then wait for the user to repeat the sequence by pressing the buttons according to the color sequence. If the user repeated the sequence correctly, the game will play a “leveling-up” sound, add a new color at the end of the sequence, and move to the next turn.
The game continues until the user has made a mistake. Then a game over sound is played, and the game restarts.

How to test
You need four buttons, four LEDs, resistors, and optionally a speaker/buzzer and a two digit 7-segment display for the score.
Ideally, you want to use 4 different colors for the buttons/LEDs (red, green, blue, yellow).
- Connect the buttons to pins
btn1,btn2,btn3, andbtn4, and also connect each button to a pull down resistor. - Connect the LEDs to pins
led1,led2,led3, andled4, matching the colors of the buttons (soled1andbtn1have the same color, etc.) - Connect the speaker to the
speakerpin. - Connect the seven segment display as follows:
seg_athroughsev_gto individual segments,dig1to the common pin of the tens digit,dig2to the common pin of the ones digit.
Setseginvaccording to the type of 7 segment display you have: high for common anode, low for common cathode. - Reset the game, and then press any button to start it. Enjoy!
Note: the game requires 50KHz clock input.
