Hello to all of you !
Recently, I saw this video and wanted to do the same : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa11T0NKL8M

I have been playing around with a WS2811 led strip and Fastled on my arduino and am really happy to see it glow with all kind of animations (and thank you all for that!). Now I have this project that I would like to realise.

Basically, it is a one dimension RGB LED strip game ! score is displayed with leds, ball goes faster when hit back when closer to the buttons, we can set the score limit with the buttons, etc

But instead of rewriting the wheel, I tried to look around. And I found these two codes : http://www.vagrearg.org/content/onedpong and http://pastebin.com/NL0BypG4.
Each has its “options” from what I saw, but they seem to be quite close to what LUXPONG has. However, I have tried everything, but I cannot make it work with FastLED…I tried on the vagrearg code (as it looks a bit more elaborated) with no success at all, and same with the pastebin one.

Can anyone of you help me to adapt it with FastLED ? or give me some hints on how to replace adafruit_neopixel with FastLED ? vagrearg’s code seems complex because of all the tune/audio part (which can be removed or replaced with a simplier one), and the pastbin code seems simplier to adapt (even if I have some issues to compile…I can share my version if needed).

I would really appreciate any help, and I really think this can be a fun project.
Thank you very much for any help !

hello all, I tried to work on the code and see how to debug it, http://dayn.uk/pong2.zip , it compiles, but I get nothing on the led strip…can anyone lead me to where to look at to solve it ? thanks a lot for any help !

Hi all, I couldn’t get this working, I managed to have the ball going once from player 1 to player 2, but not to do an actual game. Has anyone tried to do a 1 dimension Pong Game with Fast Led ? thanks for any help !
