I played a Monaco GP game this week and it's amazing what they figured out they could do with TTL in 1980. color graphics! scrolling backgrounds! enemies that bounce between one side of the screen and the other!

i always feel like a really lovely engineer / programmer when i look at what was done 20-30 years ago with video games and poo poo

i mean i'm spoiled rotten complaining about needing a few more bytes of space and they were like 'yo, mask roms bitch' or straight up building a game out of discrete ttl logic

or i'm bitching about fpga builds taking forever and some greybeard has a bucket full of gals/pals that were consumed while he was programming some poo poo by hand

ok so lets say i have a 12v dc motor. when i push a momentary button, i want the motor to run for a set amount of time (let's say 15 seconds) and then turn off. if the motor is running and i push the button, i want it to stop.

that's all i want.

should i use an arduino for this, or could i use something like a 555?

you could probably do this entirely mechanically, but that would be an entirely different challenge from programming a microcontroller.

not gonna lie old '80s toys and arcade games like that are what got me into wanting to do things with microcontrollers because those people were wizards. writing winforms garbage isn't quite as satisfying as manually counting CPU cycles to make sure the pixel draws on the correct part of the screen.

problem with the electronic games that old is all the custom parts with no/expensive replacements. thankfully 3D printing lets you make whatever plastic pinball part you need, people have reverse-engineered their own copies of the CPU boards, and there's drop-in replacements for the GALs and PALs on boards these days.

the mechanical engineers who figured out how to make electromechanical coin-op games though :eyepop:

i also played this sick game from the early 70s where you flew a little airplane on a wire over and under obstacles through mirror trickery and it was the coolest thing ever

if you crashed into something the plane would stop and a little metal ambulance would light up and drive in a circle to the hangar and back

working on a game that will mandate potentially elaborate interactions between objects so im trying to make sure im up to par with my physics system of choice (haxe flixel with Nape)

hello world physics

mostly im making sure that i can get things to react without too much nastiness, i'm glad to see that i can dampen a fall of an elastic material by matching it's velocity and that it behaves as expected. my kinetic movement is digital right now so it distributes a lot of energy and forces it to bounce

im just verifying my understanding of these systems to figure out if i need to write my own bullshit 2d interaction network or if i can take advantage of a physics engine's features and its helpers

i dug out my arduino and put my little display box up again, hooked up a 555 to it to offload the CPU time of flipping between display cells. now it toggles between the four digits at about 138Hz (because I only had a 0.1uf cap available) using a decade counter with Q4 tied to reset, giving about a 34.5Hz refresh rate, just slow enough that you can see the digits flickering when it resets for a new display cycle :argh:

was getting a bit "over" rodrocket, didn't want to approach the ships menu

so on friday night i layed into a fresh new game, replicate something i vaguley remember as a kid

i knocked out the entire functional gameplay in one night!@ no polish whatsoiever and dying and winning just sends message to console but it works! and it almost challenging.

when u are comfortable with your ide you caj dominate huh

then last night got stuck into the hard yards of making the menu scrteen from scratch. its working well so far but it going toi require a lot more work. rod rocket wont be far away from being functionally complete (as far as game goes), just no where near content complete

a moment of pride for me

instead of replicating the top series of nodes just to change the value to the *-1 of itself, and without wanting to create temp variables to do it, i used a select node and a flipflop to do the work for me! i am pleased with myself

i love oop. using functions and trying my damndest to never reuse code, unfortch i cant work out a way to use the whole thing 4 times instead of 2 x twice

recoded the menu screen. its going to look like this when you've landed, you can sell items quickly (same as jettison keys but on ship it sells them) and then hitting enter will allow you to choose to buy items or trade in ship

Nelson MandEULA: Feb 27, 2011; "...the biggest shitbag
I have ever met."

yospos please help. why is my code not working?

i want to turn on a pin (led for now, eventually dc motor via a TA7291P) when i push a button, and have it turn off after 15 seconds, or immediately if i push the button again. but it isn't working. idk why.

code:

unsigned long onTime;
const int BUTTON = 2;  // pushbutton 1 pin
const int LED =  13;    // LED pin

void setup()
{
  onTime = millis();
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(BUTTON, INPUT);
  
}

void loop()
{
   
  if (digitalRead(BUTTON) == LOW)   // ON- STARTS TIMER
       {
         digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);  // LED comes On  
         onTime = millis();
       }
  if (millis() - onTime > 15000 || digitalRead(BUTTON) == LOW)
       {
         digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
       }
}
