Pong

During my second year of EE at BCIT, I took the course ELEX 3305 (Microcontroller Systems), where we learned to program a Texas Instruments TM4C123G microcontroller in C++. We also purchased a (TI) Education Boosterpack, which is an add-on board with various analog and digital inputs/outputs, including an analog joystick, environmental and motion sensors, RGB LED, microphone, buzzer, color LCD, and more. We programmed the microcontroller in C++ and controlled it by directly manipulating the registers. Later in the course, we also wrote assembly code to do the same. This method may be considered more challenging, but it’s essential for microcontrollers lacking a library of functions for programming.

This is my Grade 12 Computer Science project that I created in 2015, named after the original PONG game released by Atari in 1972. It is built using C++ and uses the BGI library from Borland Inc. The executable can run natively on DOS only. It is running on this website using js-dos (kudos to @caiiiycuk for their awesome project).
