Challenges

Throughout this project, the team faced a number of hurdles and learning curves that we were able to overcome. By far the greatest challenges revolved around the game code and debugging and deducing issues related to networked devices and particle cloud commands. In particular, establishing a networked command system for the solenoids was an extreme challenge that required numerous hours of code review, online video tutorials, and some remote help to figure out. Eventually, the team ended up reworking the entire structure of our code to reflect a more simplified structure found online that ultimately proved to be a key part of the solution.
