MicroView Games

These are some simple games for the MicroView device, a little Arduino Uno compatible board with a built-in 64x48 pixel OLED display.

MicroBird

It's a mix between Flapy Bird and that old Copter game. I think the code is self explanatory, and you only have to put a push button between a data pin (A0 / pin 7 by default) and GND (pin 8) to play.

The other button shown on the video is just to reset the MicroView.

MicroPong

As the name suggests, it's a Pong game. It's for two players only, and I've used the original Atari CX30 Paddle Controllers. The wiring is really simple, as each controller only has a push button and a 1MΩ potentiometer.

This is how I wired the controllers and the MicroView:

Signal DB-9 Connector Pin MicroView Pin
GND 8 8
Vcc 7 15
P1 Button 3 7
P2 Button 4 6
P1 Paddle 9 5
P2 Paddle 5 4

As the potentiometer is not wired internally to GND, you have to put two 1MΩ resistors between pins 4 & 5 from the MicroView and pin 8.

MicroBreakOut

Using some code from the previous games I made a BreakOut clone. Do you know a system without one?

The wiring is the same as before, but only Player 1 inputs are used.
