March – Edward L-S

In the month of March. I started working on our special feature for our micro-mouse project. Thinking of various different ideas as to what we can go for and what would be good for a presentation in-front of the class. In the end we decided for our special feature we would use a display, and on this display try and have various different animations and potentially even a game that would be playable using the micro-mouse touch bars. So to begin with I had to learn and understand how to write information to the screen, it was quite difficult as the screen was a different model compared to ones I had experience with in the past. Once I understood how to display information, I started trialing bitmaps which could present an image, once I was able to do this then short repeating animations, these would be used for the display for various different modes the micro-mouse would be in. Finally to complete the special feature I began working on coding the snake game that would be play-able using the touch-bars this was extremely difficult as there was many projects for snake but trying to write it to the display was no easy task, but eventually I was able to get this all working and ready for integration into the micro-mouse.
