If you were interested in my last bit of alternative code-geekery, you may also be interested to hear that I've pushed that NerdKit Gaming code farther. If you browse the github repository now, you'll find that the game also includes a highscore board, saved in EEPROM so it persists across reboot. It also features a power-saving mode that kicks in if you don't touch any buttons for about a minute. Key-repeat now also allows the player to hold a button down, instead of pressing it repeatedly, in order to move the cursor multiple spaces.
