I was fiddling around with a large LCD (24x8 character serial) I had lying around, and I was actually able to get a simple "PONG" animation displaying on it at ~10+ FPS (guessing . . . it was extremely fluid with no noticeable "flickering" or "jumping") with a 28x1 @ 16mhz. I know other people have used graphic LCD's and such for projects, and I was wondering if anyone here had actually gone all the way and made an lcd-based video game of some kind? I was trying to think of games I could try to make: Pong would definitely work. "breakout" or similar might be possible. Simple text-based games like "hangman" and stuff would be fairly easy as well. Thoughts welcome, it's all hypothetical at this point =)

How about Tetris?
That should be easy enough on a text based LCD.

What about Master Mind?
You could use shapes as colours are not possible on a mono LCD! ;-)

I think it would be interesting to see someone make a side scrolling game like Defender or Harrier Attack on a GLCD. Could dump the map/terrain in external eeprom if need be.

24x8 would do chess ( maybe not enough user defined chars ), checkers, solitaire. There's always MineSweeper.

I do like this 24x8 you had "lying around". I wish I had one lying around :)
