The Running Man Running Man

Background

Arcade Retro Clock started out as a project on an 8x8 matrix. Over the years it has been converted to 16x16 and now 64x32. Each conversion process involved solving many bugs and enhancing the game play especially with respects to the computer's ability to play against itself.

For LEDarcade, I decided to isolate classes, functions, sprites, etc. that are used specifically for displaying messages and animations and to exclude any functions used to control the specific games.

What it can do

LEDArcade has many classes, functions, pre-defined sprites that are used to do the following:

  • draw a sprite
  • move a sprite
  • make a sprite float across the screen
  • raw animated sprites floating across the screen
  • draw text of multiple sizes
  • scroll text left or right at various speeds
  • multiple ways to clear the screen (zooming in / zooming out / fading)
  • scroll the screen around a large map, displaying only a section of the map in a window

There are many more functions available but they are fairly complex. As this project moves forward I will create more examples and document each function.
