Only 18 lines of code? No way!
Way!
Pong was developed as an Xcelerator Block (XB) using the OpenXLR8 methodology. This means that pong is implemented in user-configurable FPGA fabric of XLR8, making it an easy 18 lines of software code in the Arduino iDE.
Offloading functions into the FPGA hardware increases the speed, performance and functionality of your projects. Want your XLR8 board to run an LED screen or sensors while playing pong? Go for it! XLR8 can handle it.
