Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an FSM for a simple mobile game where a player starts, moves, and ends the game. What states would you include and how would transitions occur?

💡 Hint: What actions can the player take that would naturally change their state?

Challenge 2 Hard

Assess the impact of delayed control signals on a controller's effectiveness. How would this inefficiency present in a real-world system?

💡 Hint: Consider how timing in signal generation affects overall system performance.
