Freetronics DMD - Games

I had a little while free and so ported a bunch of games I wrote for the Peggy2 to work with a pair of DMD’s In doing so the games now run at 32x32 and are controlled by a Wii nunchuck. The games are snake, pong, breakout and race. The Arduino code is available at DMD_games.zip The two screens are daisy-chained but as the cable connecting them is quite short the top one is upside-down. To get this working the modified [intlink id=“55” type=“post”]DMD library[/intlink] is setup to handle rows of displays where odd-numbered rows are upside down. See this diagram for how it is laid out (for 2x2 case)

Playing is fairly straight-forward. Only thing to remember is that the ‘z-button’ on the nunchuck is used to select and the ‘c-button’ is used to exit back to the menu

Have a look at the video below to see them in action. [youtube_sc url=“5WW9ZmvjSA4”]
