For my Birthday my wife bought me a Peggy 2 kit, and I finally got around to adding the 625 10mm green LEDs. Some of the example programs are pretty neat but I wanted to make a side scroller with a nice font ready for halloween.

I decided on the Liberation Sans Narrow font, drew up a string of characters in The Gimp, converted it to have only 4 levels, then used a quick perl script to convert the image into program data for the scroller. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The scroller, image, and script are available here.
