Playing with the 4884 shield for the Arduino, Graphics, done in Assembly. I hate Assembly. However, an app does exist that will turn a .bmp file that is monochrome in to the code for you.

So this is my first pic (not animated, just a pic) that i did by my self. Graphic done in the Gimp, use BMP2ASM for the raw data values, adjusted the code for Arduino and the LCD shield.

here is a pastebin link if you want to see the code. The Graphics ASM code is fricking huge, just for that simple picture

UPDATE: Moved the "mariobmp" to a seperate .h (mariobmp.h) file and load the graphic by a call. Very nice as how it frees up having to see a top of ASM code in the Arduino IDE.

And Yes, I drew the pic in the Gimp, it is an 84x48 black and white BMP file, done the old fashioned way, Pixel by Pixel.

The final plan for this thing is for me to get a working Pong on this thing... See that one small button in the bottom left hand side? Thats a "5 degrees of freedom" button, AKA a mini-primitive joystick. the 5th "degree" is actually pushing in the stick, you know, like a button.

Anyway, more soon i hope.

Shoulda made a simple RLE algorithm, silly, that'd slash something like this right down in size.

~SuprVillain May 23, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

The LCD library needs the Assembly, this LCD cant do RLE files. However, then next one will be a touchscreen + real graphics abilities.

Actually I meant making a quick program with your own RLE in it. I recently worked out a form of compression for animated sprites that used my own brand of RLE, along with some other things; I ditched it after discovering that PNG still had it beat, though.

I often wonder what ever happened to the APNG and MPNG formats, Animated or Motion, what ever you want to call it, Animated PNGs would be great as sprites.

~Adam-Novagen May 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

MNG was the file extension, if I recall. GIMP supports it still, and so did some browsers for a while. APNG was an unofficial version to further the effort; Firefox supports it even now, and Chrome can handle it with an APNG plugin. I agree it's a shame, but I must admit that animated images are pretty passé compared to general multimedia like Flash and HTML5.

non-elegant, but better:

while(true){
delay(<Place maximum long here>);
}

_{also never ever use 1>0 - pass constant true value or at least use 1=1}

more elegant, but complicated:
I'm not expert in this language, but after a peek I suggest reading about sleep modes

~SuprVillain May 23, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

The Arduino Language is not a True "C" language, it is called Processing. I do need to look up if Processing can handle Real C-style code.

~samiwieciekto May 23, 2012

I know, that's why I've googled before posting that

~SuprVillain May 23, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Research, Smart

Anyway, You could try endless racer game (avoid appearing obstacles), it's easy to code (I mean technical-logical aspect, I see it as array of boolean arrays progressed with timer - where You only have to check slot where player is for collision)
