It’s not immediately apparent when loading in to the level, but chip your way through the floor of the stadium and you are confronted by something awe-inspiring: sprawling constructions, like great soaring cliffs, comprising approximately 357,000 command blocks - equating to the same in lines of code. A texture pack is needed for the specific sprites, but otherwise it is playable without mods. is the mad genius behind this project, laboriously re-coding the game literally block by block. After twenty-one months of effort, the entire Pokemon Red game is now playable inside Minecraft. If you’ve ever wanted to take a dive into and visualize a game’s code, this could be a seminal example in a literal sense. On top of Pong, there are also squash and soccer game modes! Check out the demo after the break.Ĭontinue reading “Playing Pong With Micro:bits!” → Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged arcade, atmega 328p, bluetooth, composite, pong, television, video game

Additionally - if wires really aren’t your thing and Bluetooth is too new-school for such an old game - a second Micro:bit can control the wired paddle using their built-in radio, provided they’re configured accordingly. Once built - or sketch uploaded - the Micro:bit paddles can be connected to the ATmega328p and played like an old-school controller, but has enabled Bluetooth control of the paddles’ A and B buttons via the Bitty app.
For the workshop environment, this setup uses composite video outputs - but this shouldn’t be an issue as most TVs still retain these inputs. Where would the world be today without Pong, perhaps a lot less fun? For people like the game is an inspiration toward teaching the next generation of hackers to build and play their own version using Micro:bits as controllers!Īiming for doing all manner of diligence, says the code can simply be uploaded to an Arduino - foregoing throwing together a circuit of your own - if you want to jump right into things.
