Week 39: the robot screen comes alive
Added 2023-08-04 17:37:38 +0000 UTCThis week I tried to make the robot’s LED screen come alive. I added some Lua code for this. The new code deals with the high level operations, such as controlling the cursor, the animations, etc. I attached a video that shows what I got so far. You can see I used the new capabilities to produce a fake boot animation.
I also did substantial improvements to the backend side of the robot’s LED screen, the C++ code that handles the low-level pixel operations.
I spent time recording voice-overs for the upcoming Tiktok / YouTube videos.
Finally, I committed various fixes and improvements to the engine.
