LOLIN/WeMos/NodeMCU D1 R1 1.44 TFT Hyperclock Software

||Software SPI Rendering||
A minimal "no active user input" software sketch combining simple breakout game with a WiFi enabled Real Time Clock module with a look up table library (which will be gradually incremented in time).

The software has been wet tested with the hardware setup to run for more than two days straight without any issues.
The physics is not consistently smooth, but as God Todd would say "It just works!"

Having said that, any advice from optimizations to font size and usage, anything, are welcome, and the useful ones will be implemented in the next revision of the sketch with due credits.

Next revision will include a hard SPI version.

EDIT: Hard SPI version is out!

 * USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
 * 1. Connect the ST7735 display to WeMos D1 R1 according to the pin diagram above
 * 2. Install required libraries through Arduino IDE Library Manager
 * 3. Create a new file called "consts.h" and paste the provided constants
 * 4. Update WiFi credentials in the main sketch
 * 5. Upload to your WeMos D1 R1 board
 * 6. Enjoy the game with real-time clock display!
 *
 * TROUBLESHOOTING:
 * β€’ If display shows garbage: Check SPI wiring and display initialization
 * β€’ If WiFi won't connect: Verify credentials and router settings
 * β€’ If game runs slowly: Ensure CPU frequency is set to 160 MHz
 * β€’ If compilation fails: Verify all required libraries are installed

 NB: As of now, the program just runs, with occassional bouts of smooth ball motion. Optimizations for consistent physics are welcome (and in development).
     Any suggestions made in Arduino Forum Post will be included/integrated in the next sketch revision with due credits.

Nice job. Sorry I have nothing to add.

Your code has some of the most thorough documentation I've ever seen, excellent work.

This constructor is for software SPI, is there some reason you are not using hardware SPI?

// Display setup
Adafruit_ST7735 tft = Adafruit_ST7735(TFT_CS, TFT_DC, TFT_MOSI, TFT_SCLK, TFT_RST);

Not sure how you got it to compile successfully with numbers exceeding the maximum for uint8_t, the ESP8266 board package for the Arduino IDE is very unforgiving. (code from consts.h file)

// Power-up durations (in frames at 60 FPS)
const uint8_t powerup_duration[4] = {0, 0, 600, 300}; // Type 2=10sec, Type 3=5sec

Thank you very much @david_2018 for pointing those out.
When working with this project, while troubleshooting the setup in the beginning,

// Power-up durations (in frames at 60 FPS)
const uint8_t powerup_duration[4] = {0, 0, 600, 300}; // Type 2=10sec, Type 3=5sec

This was an oversight on my behalf on migrating the code from another project.
However, the reason why ESP Core compiler ignores it, turned out to be interesting.

The Arduino gcc compiler truncates the value to it's least significant 8 bits.
i.e.

[<value> % 256]

So, dry running for 600 and 300 values yield:

[600 % 256 = 88], // [(∡ 600 - (2 * 256) = 88)]
[300 % 256 = 44]  // [(∡ 300 - (2 * 256) = 44)]

The array produced is:

[0, 0, 88, 44]

Which falls within the uint_8 range.
Thus, what should have been a compilation error has now turned into a sleeper cell lying dormant in the firmware.

The silent side effects caused because of it are erroneous reduction of powerup durations (which I failed to notice in the wet tests, as the gameplay is kind of the "secondary" or "cosmetic" feature).
i.e. say when checkBrickCollisions() from the main sketch uses:

if (brick.type == 2) {
  ball.powerBounces = powerup_duration[2]; // Expects 600, gets 88
}

The powerups end prematurely than expected from the code.

Now in future expansion had I added scaling features to powerup:

uint8_t scaled_duration = powerup_duration[2] * 3; // 88 * 3 = 264 > 255

The results would have been catastrophic for the standard of sketches I am trying to hit.

So, from this great learning adventure, (and making a self note to be more rigour on the maths side of the sketches), I have updated the code to change the variable type to uint16_t. Thank you for making the sketch one step better and reliable.
I will include a detailed explanation of this section in the next revision of this sketch.
