Comparing button presses to correct sequence I am creating a memory game with the Arduino. It has four buttons, each for a different colored led. The leds will blink in a random sequence and either fail or add another light in the next sequence if the user presses the correct buttons. I have also attached an lcd screen to late implement a score tally.

Right now, the welcome lights display and the sound is working fine, but when the sequence starts, it will act as though I am pressing a button and proceed through the fail light method. I think the last method is causing this issue where I am comparing the button pressed to the sequence. 

I would appreciate any help!

This is essentially my wiring just with different pins chosen:
I found that I did not need the pull down resistors for each button since I had declared the pinMode for each button to be INPUT_PULLUP. So instead of the schematic above, I took out the resistors for the buttons and instead wired one side of the buttons to ground.
