:lol: I think those different projects that use PICs for Pong and Tetris games and have composite out are cool, but is there any way I could do something ELSE? :lol: I have a few questions…
1.) Is there any other composite out PIC game projects out there?
2.) I need to learn about PIC (and other microcontrollers as well, but mostly PIC) programming... as of now I know nothing about it. I have seen all different types of codes and the only programming experience is with a *Fake* code called RPG code that my RPG creator uses. And I'm not THAT great with that... but I know a LITTLE bit. So anyway, what should I do/read/buy (Low budget remember...) to learn more about it?
3.) I need suggestions for games please.
4.) I want to make a game system that I can insert a PIC chip in and have it play the game that's on it that I made. Just like the old video game systems that used cartridges. The NES, SNES, N64, Atari... all of those. How should I make the base system so that it will be flexible enough to support all of the different games I program? Also, I need a way to insert the PICs (just like the old VG cartridges) that won't mess up when you bump it (takes out card edge connectors) or be too much ware and tear on the PIC or connector, (takes out a lot of strong connectors like just a simple IC socket). I also need to make it so that the PIC is not exposed too much when it's in the socket and running. I might make some of these for some friends also. Therefore, I want to make some kind of cover for the system that won't let you take the PIC out while the system is running.
So, if anyone can help with anything, the design of the system or anything about it, what to do to learn about PIC programming... ANYthing at all, I'd be very happy to hear it. Thanks,
Rain
P.S. I'm most interested in building the game system more than anything.
