Contestant Lockout System

by Randy Glenn

prepared for the SX Starter Contest July 2002

My entry for the contest is an SX-based contestant lockout system, for 8-player, 2-team games, like Reach For The Top (where Alex Trebek got his start). It's like Jeopardy, but with 2 teams of 4 members each. One member answers the question by "buzzing in", at which point a tone sounds, their light lights, and everyone else is locked out.

My system adds a twist - an auto-reset 4 seconds after the sound ends. This is due to my own experiences, where moderators forget to reset the board, and no one can buzz in for the next question.

The code uses the RTCC interrupt to generate the tone, and the RB interrupt to detect when someone has buzzed in. I've designed it to run on a 4 MHz oscillator, in Turbo mode. Details on hardware connections are in the attached ASM file.

The code is untested, of course, and not likely to work the first time. It's my first attempt at writing for the SX (long time lurker).

Thanks,

; Contestant Lockout System
; by Randy Glenn
; prepared for the SX Starter Contest July 2002

; Version 1.0 - July 31, 2002
; - initial release

; 8 buttons in on RB
; 8 LEDs out on RC
; Audio out on RA1
; Manual reset button attached to reset line

; Code is supposed to work like this:
; Contestant pushes button, a team tone sounds, and their light is lit - others locked out
; Tone lasts for 1 sec, followed by 4 sec until auto-reset (lights out, board unlocked)

Randy G Glenn Says:

Yes, folks, I know there's an error here - a fairly colossal error, that causes any timed loops to run about 256 times longer than the comments would indicate. 'twill be fixed.
