LEDDisplay games

So.. We can’t have a “screen” without pong or snake, can we?
When I completed the LED Displays abillity to be controlled from the computer via RS232, I wrote a nifty little module in Perl, which I called: Acme::LEDDisplay.With this module I am able to use the display just as a.. well… display :)
But ’till today, I haven’t made anything really cool. Just some small things like live Network-graph and live IRC log ;p

But today I wrote two games for it, and I’m pretty pleased about the result :)

The new scripts for today are Snake/Nibbles, Pong, and a little meaningless bouncy-script.

Meaningless script
Also made this little ball-bouncing script, which pong is built upon. It uses pretty much the same “ball” module. You can start it with as many balls you want. And it bounces them randomly about.
