Next Time
Looking back at our achievements with "Psychedelic Snake," we have noticed several things which would have been nice to change and expand upon. First, we would have liked to use a MCU with a faster clock and more SRAM (a lot more). This would have allowed us to increase the pixel resolution and dynamic display area significantly. As it was, we were extremely limited by memory to the point that we use every (yes, every) single byte of SRAM on the Mega163. Another cool modification suggested for our design was to make the game code so modular that it could be kept separately on its own flash memory. This would have allowed us to create our own gaming system where various games could be loaded and displayed at will.
