damn man, you just reconvinced my of how power these PIC can be. i saw that you wrote your pong in python. how did you communicate with the PIC as last i heard there isnt any python interpreter for the microcontrollers. nice project by the way. source code could come in handy!
-In Pong, the pic sends the coordinates of the paddles and the ball and the pc draws them or the pc acts only as a framebuffer and the pic has to draw each pixel separately? (i think the first; silly question ;)
-In the car mode, the pc recognises the pic as a normal joystick or you mapped the potentiometers move as keypresses?
The amount of skill this must have taken seems to have gone totally to waste with this project. You should find something useful to do with your skills. Wow, I can play an ancient game on my laptop that took hours to make work. Go buy an atari for a dollar at the flea market.

Wow Awesome! I've some questions:

And I like your massive prototype board!! :D

xD It's a university project... ;)
The objective isn't PLAY pong, the objective is to make an interface to control the computer through a PIC and some other stuff.

well he actually tested his abillities and knowledge with this project so it wasn't a waste of time.
I'm sure he learned a lot of new things from this project.
