Here 30 years in the future, we use LCD screens.

LCD screens are ok but what if someone wants composite video to create a game console? I am looking for the exact same thing. so if someone knows a open source code for a PONG game on a oposite video i would be more than happy.

Thanks

This may not be helpful, but I thought i would just post it, since it was a solution that worked for me.

After trying with no success to get the timing right for the STM32F429I-Discovery board to generate a composite video output (to display on a small TV set), I just gave up on the whole TV composite concept

I wired the H-Sync, V-Sync, RGB input pins of an old Samsung VGA monitor directly to the pins on the discovery board  (only used B7, C7, and G7 pins for a total of 8 colors, similar to the arcade machines of old.)

I translated the code for the VGA_Demo from Keil to em::blocks. Easy!

Results: A 640x480 color screen with 8 colors. Cost equals Zero!

Graphic library is included in the code. Draws, fills, geometry, buffering, screen copy, sprites, etc.

Code up your own Pong Game ;)

Beats trying to run on a tiny 2.5 inch LCD Screen.
