Here's an example of a game we did up on the FI Gaming Console.
Introduction
Everyone has played arcade games at a certain point in life, especially classic favourites like tetris, pacman, space-invaders, frogger, and the likes. Ever wondered how these games were made or wanted to create your own? Well, now you can! With readily available libraries within FIDE, you can concentrate on making your ideas a reality without having to worry too much about the nitty-gritty hardware interfacing issues. Feel free to satisfy your curiosity and open up the libraries to look at the actual code, or leave it as a ‘black box’ and just make use of it.
