The Knowledge Exchange - creating retro arcade games with the graphical colour
LCD E-Block
 |
A graphical display - for example our EB043
Graphical Colour LCD E-Block - can be used to create a highly interactive
interface between a control system and its user(s). Although there are many
serious applications for such interfaces, a good demonstration of the
capabilities can be achieved through the development of a game. In this Knowledge
Exchange
article, we detail the development of a 1970s style arcade game to demonstrate
some of the features required by the more serious applications.
“The Matrix EB-043 Graphical Colour LCD
board provides the user with a screen consisting of 128 x 128 individually

flexibility of your programming. In this example, we explain how you can program
a device to go into low power mode by using
the inbuilt sleep function.
“One of Flowcode’s real strengths is
that it is very easy to use and simple flowchart programs can be created
quickly, even by first-time users. However …”
