- Timer 0 is disabled in flashlight() and safeMode() in case its
variables overlap the bootloader "magic key" location.
- Flashlight mode never exits if invoked.
- Made safeMode() public for use as a smaller code size alternative
to flashlight().
This eliminates calls to pinMode(), digitalWrite(), functions to
initialize hardware, etc.
New 2 parameter version of digitalWriteRGB() added, which sets an
individual RGB LED on or off digitally.
New function SPItransfer() added to replace Arduino SPI.transfer().
Also:
- Changes to show the unit name on the boot logo screen
- Added new example sketch SetNameAndID to allow setting the name and ID
- Updated the LICENSE.txt file and made changes to include it in the
Doxygen generated documentation
- Version changed to 2.1.0
- Added sprite, button and collision functions from ArduboyExtra
- Added drawCompressed() function from Arglib
- Updated LICENSE.txt
- Removed CONTRIBUTORS.md (now covered by LICENSE.txt)
- Changed banner name from ARAKNOID to BREAKOUT.
- Set frame rate appropriately for the corrected nextFrame() function.
- Removed dead and non-functioning code.
- Cleaned up save, load and display of high scores.
- Made pausing the game work.
- Display the achieved score on the "game over" screen.
Also: Minor refactor of function nextFrame()
A change made to nextFrame(), from the Arduboy library, caused it to not work
correctly. The original version works as designed.
Also:
- Changed longs to unsigned longs for better type matching.
- Removed the frameRate variable. It was being set but never used.
- Added a missing return value to the write() function.
- Changed a int8_t to uint8_t in function lcdCommandMode() to address a
compiler warning.
- Rearranged the specification of the font[] array to address a compiler
warning.
Mainly to give an indication that the device is in "flashlight" mode
for units that have the RGB LED installed reversed.
Also, the test for the UP button is moved to within flashlight() itself.
Instead of PWM, basic digital output is used to control the RGB LED in the
bootLogo() and flashlight() functions. This reduces code size for sketches
which don't use the setRGBled() function. In bootLogo(), instead of dimming
the red LED, the red then green then blue LEDs are lit in sequence at full
brightness.
digitalWriteRGB() was added as a public function and is also used for the
changes above.
Checks if the "B" button is being held down when begin() is called.
If so, waits for other buttons to be pressed to control system functions.
Functions implemented:
"UP" button: Set "sound enabled" in EEPROM.
"DOWN" button: Set "sound disabled" (mute) in EEPROM.
Based on Arduboy library V1.2 development as of April 2, 2016
- Class Arduboy2 replaces class Arduboy.
- Removed files ab_printer.h and ab_printer.cpp. Integrated their
functionality into class Arduboy2 (as with Arduboy V1.1).
- Added new text functions:
- getCursorX(), getCursorY() to get the current cursor position.
- setTextColor(), setTextBackground() to allow inverted text
(black on white).
- clear() is overridden to set the cursor to 0, 0 in addition to clearing
the screen buffer.
- New Class: Arduboy2Base which contains most of the Arduboy functions and
is inherited by Arduboy2. It doesn't inherit Print, and doesn't include
text display and cursor control functions. Using it instead of Arduboy2,
in sketches that don't use text functions, frees up some code space.
- Function drawChar() is in Arduboy2 instead of Arduboy2Base.
- Made setRGBled() static. Not making it static was an oversight.
("Tunes" functions are still moved to the separate ArduboyPlaytune library,
as they were in Arduboy V1.2)
