Pacman for Arduino Due with ILI9341 and VGA support

Official Hardware Mega Due
1

Hi guys,
I want to present my beta version clone of Pacman Game for Arduino Due with ILI9341 tft and VGA lcd support with "ILI9341_due.h" and "VGA.h" libraries. Pacman is playable (with some glichies - because it is in develope state), there is 5 sample levels, you can use both outputs (VGA and ILI9341), controller (KEYPAD) is made from 8 buttons.

Used buttons:
START = Start or pause Game
SELECT = Reset Game
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = Direction control

Looks excellent, nice and smooth and not a hint of flicker. Not tried playing as I only 4 buttons, but cool nonetheless.

Why not add NES controller library and use NES controller? It's got 4 direction, select, start, and 2 more buttons.

Or if Due can't handle any more libraries, use a 74595 serial to parallel shift register to decode NES data and feed 8 lines like the original button controller you have?

Subscribed!

OK I will try it. Give me some time...

OK, NES or SNES Controller is now working with Pacman Game, I used this: Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting. library (SNESpad 1.3 library for Arduino). And here is updated part code:

/******************************************************************************/

/******************************************************************************/

//Library for SNESpad
#include "SNESpad.h"
// put your own strobe/clock/data pin numbers here
SNESpad nintendo = SNESpad(3,4,5);


/******************************************************************************/
/*   Controll KEYPAD LOOP                                                     */
/******************************************************************************/

boolean but_START = false;    //38
boolean but_SELECT = false;   //40
boolean but_A = false;        //44
boolean but_B = false;        //42
boolean but_UP = false;       //52
boolean but_DOWN = false;     //50
boolean but_LEFT = false;     //48
boolean but_RIGHT = false;    //46

void ClearKeys() {
  but_START=false;
  but_SELECT=false;
  but_A=false;
  but_B=false;
  but_UP=false;
  but_DOWN=false;
  but_LEFT=false;
  but_RIGHT=false;
}

void KeyPadLoop(){
  byte SNESpadState = nintendo.buttons();

  Serial.println(SNESpadState);

  if (SNESpadState & 8 || digitalRead(51)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_START=true; delay(300); } //else but_START=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 4 || digitalRead(53)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_SELECT=true; delay(300); }  else but_SELECT=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 1 || digitalRead(44)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_A=true; }  else but_A=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 2 || digitalRead(49)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_B=true; }  else but_B=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 16 || digitalRead(52)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_UP=true; }  //else but_UP=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 32 || digitalRead(50)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_DOWN=true; }  //else but_DOWN=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 64 || digitalRead(48)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_LEFT=true; }  // else but_LEFT=false;
  if (SNESpadState & 128 || digitalRead(46)==0) { ClearKeys();  but_RIGHT=true; }  //else but_RIGHT=false;
  
  yield();
}
