2002 Snake on TV
The inspiration for this project came from reading the Stanford University website and looking at one of their assigned labs. Their lab was to build a black and white TV signal generator using a microprocessor. We took this concept and expanded it to include color as well as make the design user-configurable. By modifying our source code slightly, a third-party developer could transform our project into a unit that displays virtually anything on a TV. We included our "psychedelic" version of the classic game "Snake" as a demonstration of the flexibility of our design. The game runs in the excess time between display routines, and the only real constraint on a program is that it doesn't exceed the available excess cycles. There is much more to our project than Snake, but that being said, we hope you enjoy the game!
