Integration into my computer building obsession

A project log for Arduino Graphics Card

Advanced graphics for anything from homebrew computers to weather reporting boxes and everything that can communicate over 3.3-5v UART.

If you've read my profile much you will see that I really, really like to make computers. For no apparent reason. I have done (or at least attempted) in many ways, like building a z80 computer, or trying to make CPUs out of CMOS ICs, or using an arduino yun + a screen + a keyboard. Well, a wile back I made this really cool system with an arduino. It even did some multitasking. Two things really sucked about it: its display output and the user input. For user input it had 2 buttons and a potentiometer. It used a 2x16 character LCD screen. It was really cool, but I found the code recently and decided "Why not add a keyboard and an NGT20?" I needed some videos showing my NGT20 anyways, so I have been porting most of it to the new design. I added a GUI and a nicer shell program. No file system yet, but the beginnings of the OS and all the programs are emerging. Here is the video.

This is how far I've gotten. I want to make a Terraria like game on the arduino using my NGT20. It probably wouldn't be as complex as Terarria itself, but similar idea. So cool because I always want to play Terraria but I never want to actually pay for the game.
