Dance Dance Revolution a Mole

Dance Dance Revolution a Mole uses a MPC823 microcontroller to bring it to life. This is a nice creative version of the old carnival Whack a Mole games.

“We set out with the goal of creating a Whack-A-Mole game with a twist. Whack-A-mole, for the unfamiliar, is a game in which puppet “moles” pop out of holes in a table-like surface, and the player (usually a child), must “whack” each mole with a padded mallet before it retreats back into its hole. The difference with our version is that the player would not be using a mallet, but rather a Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) pad. The pad, which is a playstation controller, has eight steppable buttons, and the game is played by pressing on a button to “whack” a corresponding mole when it pops up. The other difference with our version was that the moles were not moles, but Malavs.”
