This is a simple video poker game for the PIC 16F628 and a 20×4 character LCD. It’s written in PIC assembly for MPASM. I started the project in 2002. I originally intended it as a birthday present for my brother, who is an enthusiastic if occasional player of casino video poker. This Mark I version […]

Introduction Tetris is a very simple, but elegant game. Blocks of four bricks each are falling down in a play field, and the player can rotate and move the block sideways. When the block hits ground or another block below, it stays there. If one line of bricks is full, then that line is removed.
Introduction The game Pong was the world’s first video game in the early 70’s, it is a tennis lookalike game where a ball is played with two rackets, which are moved up and down by each player. The ball can bounce at the floor and the ceiling. This version is implemented with the virtual game
Introduction If you move a bright light fast by the eyes, it will leave a line behind because the human brain and eyes are slow to interpret fast changes in light intensity, leaving an afterglow. If a row of LED’s is moved sideways while the LED’s intensity is changed, an image will shortly visualize in

After making the tetris game, it was very easy to make a Pong game. The game Pong was the world’s first video game in the early 70’s; this is a modern version of it, made with a little bit less hardware than the original version. In my version, the video signal is generated in software.
The first game I made in color using SX-chips was Tetris. Tetris is an old Russian computer game where you should try to fit in block into a play-field, quite simple but really fun. All blocks are built from four bricks (the name Tetris is derived from the ancient greek word for four: “tetra”), there
This page describes a SX28-based color video game system I made during year 2002. Now, beginning of 2007, almost five years after I made the first design I’ve updated the layout of the PCB and added a version of the PCB that has built-in gamepads and I also have made it possible to buy PCBs,
Introduction I have made the game Tetris using a PIC16F84 running @ 12MHz. Tetris is an old Russian computer game where you should try to fit in block into a play-field, quite simple but really fun. All blocks are built from four bricks (the name Tetris is derived from the ancient greek word for four:
This text describes how to build my PIC16F84 based game system, before you start you should read through the whole text one time. Note that many components are sensitive to too much heat and will get damaged if you heat them too much when soldering. The drawn placement images show components to mount in each

This page describes a PIC16F84-based video game system I made and first published back in the beginning of 1998. Now, beginning of 2007, nine years later I’ve updated the layout of the PCB and also updated the source code to also be able to run on a PIC16F628A as Microchip is phasing out the 16F84
