New functions bootLogoCompressed(), bootLogoSpritesSelfMasked() and
bootLogoSpritesOverwrite() can be used in place of bootLogo() to
reduce code size in cases where their drawing functions are shared
with the same functions used by the sketch.
New function bootLogoShell() added to provide common code for the
above functions.
Also, the Sprites class functions, and functions used for drawing the
logos, were made static.
- Added a flag in system EEPROM to indicate if the unit name
should be displayed at the end of the boot logo sequence.
Function bootLogoExtra() displays the unit name only if the
flag is set.
- Added functions writeShowUnitNameFlag() and readShowUnitNameFlag()
to write and read the "Show Unit Name" flag in EEPROM.
- Enhanced the SetNameAndID example sketch to allow setting the
"Show Unit Name" flag in EEPROM.
- 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
A friend class named Arduboy2Ex is declared by the Arduboy2 classes.
The intention is to allow a sketch to create an Arduboy2Ex class which would
have access to the private and protected members of the Arduboy2 classes.
It is hoped that this may eliminate the need to create an entire local copy
of the library, in order to extend the functionality, in most circumstances.
The Sprites class has been given direct access to the screen buffer so it
doesn't need a pointer to been given to it.
Also updated README.md and keywords.txt, and made minor indent changes in
the .h files.
- 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.
paintScreen() used instruction padding for a delay to allow a byte to be sent
to the display using SPI. This delay became to short with the new gcc version
in Arduino IDE 1.6.10
The function has been changed to test for the serial transfer to complete
before sending the next byte.
