LED pinball display demo

Postby DST » Thu May 29, 2008 8:00 am

Here's a demo on how to make an LED board in GE.

It starts with a clonearray of the led's, with on and off animpos.

Make sure to parent them to another actor before you clone them, or it could get messy!

The only trick is to make sure your images have lots of space in them.....or else the led's won't turn off correctly.
For text, this means that ARIAL normal is the best font to use.

It also means that the smaller and more numerous your led's are, the clearer the images will be. (duh). :D

Use the mouse to move the letters, right click the letters to make them flash on and off.

very cool idea , thanks

feral

ps: I just changed the motion from mouse follow.... to curser key movement
ie key down left x=x-10 key down right x=x+10;

and the motion is smoother (as the letters then jump from led to led evenly)
.tho I do like the way the letters self configure using the mouse..

Because it was developed during a discontinued project, 'fractal pinball' on the 'polar' level. There is a seal and a bunch of other stuff. But i got bored with it, either you know how it goes, or you will. lololol

Very nice! though it would be nice if it would check if it collides with the center pixel of the LED, but that might be tricky!
