Mario Reduced To 8x8 With Open Source and Arduino
adeelarshad82 writes
"The open-source Arduino electronics platform has received a ton of attention from the hardware enthusiast community. And one more follower is joining the fray — Mario himself. The mustachioed plumber of console video game fame has been converted into an eight-by-eight LED matrix by Carnegie Mellon University student Chloe Fan. However, the game isn't quite the Mario you know from your legacy Nintendo Entertainment System. For starters, it's just lights. While one often sees the game's LED-backed grid used in devices like the open-source Monome, where it can function as a push-button toggle for music beats and effects, Fan's version of Mario uses the grid as a display only. Mario — or rather, a one-light representation of the game's hero — is controlled NES-style through the use of two buttons. One button makes Mario move forward; the other makes him leap into the air."
Unless you're capable of presenting your balls on an 8x8 LED matrix, I fail to see what exactly you're trying to contribute here.
Because not everyone can afford shiny electronics.
I love you. If you had Princess Leia hair buns in your profile pic, you'd be the perfect woman.
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
You know you really don't have to disclose that sort of thing just to comment on slashdot ;)
...all the drool. HUGE bonus, no risk of sandpaper-tongue.
This one's better, but it has a bit of swearing

Most of the 8x8 LED Matrices use round LEDs, so I don't see any problem with your request.

No.
Girl gamers don't exist.
There's no computer or video game console in the laundry room nor the kitchen.
