Lots of AVR projects at Cornell, might give some ideas

Hey again,
I actually assist in teaching a course on programming the dragon12+ board. Here are some
ideas that I use with my students. They are enjoyable to program and will hopefully help
develop your programming skills as well as your knowledge of the HCS12.
1) Simon Game
Have you ever played Simon? If not, play it for free here...
http://www.freegames.ws/games/kidsgames/simon/simon.htm
Once you understand how the game works, program it! There are 4 switches (attached to
Port H) on the dragon board. Use 4 of the LEDs (attached to Port B) and if you feel like
getting fancy, make 4 unique sounds with the speaker (attached to Port T).
You should be able to make a fully functional Simon game on your board complete with
"random" sequences (I think math.h or one of those libraries has a rand() function to
return a random int).
This is a good lab for learning how to use nested loops, for loops, while loops, and
arrays.
2) Speed Game
Make a game that allows two players to test their reflexes. Give the players a signal
that the game has started (Turn LEDs on and/or make a beep on the speaker). When the game
has started, the players race to hit a button as fast as they can.
Have the players play a best 3 out of 5 match and display the score actively on the 7
segment LEDs.
If you can get your hands on some assembly libraries, you can get functions that help you
keep track of time (sorta). For instance, a function that lets you pause for 1 ms can be
useful in measuring the time it takes for a player to respond and then you can display
their reaction time to them. This is a fun project.
Honestly, the speed game is an easier project. If it seems to trivial, try the simon
game. If that seems too trivial, then try programming space invaders or something (I saw
this done using the 8 LEDs and the 7 segment LEDs). I've often thought about the code
required to write Dance Dance Revolution on the Dragon12 board using the 7 segments, the
LEDs, and the 4 PTH switches.
If you want a smaller challenge, try writing your own function for the keypad on the
dragon12+. Or, if you have the regular Dragon12, try adding a keypad (You can buy them
for cheap on Jameco) and then write a function that uses it.
