Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi!

Here is my first program on PicoMite:

https://wiki.logre.eu/index.php/LOG-O-PONG_2023#Logiciel

This is a 1D PONG-like game, running on a strip LED. Pretty much like this one:

https://hackaday.io/project/177028-diy-arduino-1d-pong-game-with-ws2812-led-strip

(there are many more things to add).

I tried to apply some of your tips about speed optimization; feel free to comment!

Thanks,
Frédéric

And the game is fun!

Ok, in its current form, the code is just fast enough to get a decent speed; if I add features, I will probably need to overclock the RP2040.

No need to worry about overclocking. 384MHz is perfectly fine on most of them and doesn't raise the chip temperature much even when left running all day. A few of the cheap Chinese clones may have problems over 200MHz, but that appears not to be the fault of the RP2040. We are guessing that they are using slower flash chips.

That Arduino version looks great. If you can get something even approaching that in MMBasic, rather than compiled C++, it'll be even better. :)  Your code is very neat!
