LED matrix question

Other Hardware General Electronics

Hi! I've found a decent looking 32x64 led matrix and would like to program some basic games onto it using either an UNO or MEGA. On the page for the product (below), it doesn't show the back of the matrix, and I'm not completely sure how easy it would be to switch the state of the LEDs manually on it. Are such games possible with this?

What do you mean, like without an Arduino just using wires and a 5V supply?

Yes.

However the AdaFruit web site , says:-

With the limited RAM in an Arduino, chaining is seldom practical.

Seems pretty possible to do if you can learn the library being used to control the display.

Start with the basics, go from there.
