  • Writing a game the hard way – from scratch using C – Part 2

    Join me on a journey as I attempt to write a game for my Agon Light using nothing but raw C programming. In this second episode I figure out how to make a very basic 2D rigid body physics system work. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have an Agon Light, I’m bringing you along…

  • Learning how to draw things on the Agon Light

    I’ve been having a bit of a play around with my Agon Light, trying to come up with some ideas for a future video. I’ve discovered it has quite a nice 320×240 64 colour video mode that has just enough pixels to be interesting. Here’s a little thing I managed to create. It started off…

  • Wang Tiles and other ways to tile a plane

    Understand the concept of tiling a plane by arranging regular tiles in a systematic manner, creating visually pleasing patterns. Additionally, get introduced to Wang tiles, a fascinating method that employs specific rules for tile placement, resulting in captivating, non-repetitive designs.

  • Odroid Go Graphics Programming

    Making a microcontroller produce graphics is very similar to making an old 8 or 16 bit computer draw images. They both have small screens, not much RAM and not enough CPU power to draw all the screen all the time.

  • Odroid Go Raw Coding

    I bought an ODroid-GO console which is based off an ESP32 microcontroller. I’m learning how to program games on it from scratch.
