    Since you can display text on it, I would use it to create a text based game like colossal-cave-adventure. I think the flapping sound it makes when it's slowly writing a sentence would sound very cool!

      @George Corbul Indeed, this type of displays is closely associated with airports. However, the last time I was at an airport (around 2015), they only used LCD screens. Surely, they might have been there earlier, but the only other time I've been at an airport is almost two decades ago, so I can't remember seeing them anymore...

    This is great! An interesting touch is that horizontal steps are faster than vertical steps, to equalize overall speed at this non-square pixel aspect ratio. Not sure I’d have done that because I favor a consistent rhythm. Also mind that the tail’s speed becomes nonsensical.

    There is a small bug, the 'pixel' where you pick up the food doesn't start shuffling when the snake eats it so it doesn't look like it's part of the snake
    But great work!

    • @DataBroth
      @DataBroth Před 3 lety

      from what I can tell, the shuffling tail of the snake isn't actually part of the snake. you can see the full white blocks of the snake grow as it eats X's
      the white block is the next in line after the blank squares, but to go back to blank it has to go through every character
      I don't believe this display can go back and forth between characters, which is why it has to go through everything
      when the snake eats the X, it shuffles back to the blank position, but because it's starting at X it cycles through faster
      so I think more so the shuffling isn't part of the snake, but is pixels "dimming" down
