XORLib is a simple multiplatform game library that is licensed under MIT-license and developed at least for two platforms:

• PIC32 with NTSC TV and may be PAL TV and VGA
• DOS32 with CGA and partially EGA/VGA

Version 0.x means that library is in active developement right now and far from completion, but usable. Check progress on our wiki.

Folder "tools" has some tools licensed under MIT-license.

Folder "tests" has some random test programs - some public domain, but some licensed under MIT-license.

Folder "examples" has some public domain apps for XORLib - you can use them as a base for your application!

PIC32 code based on "NTSC TV interface" examples from http://hackaday.io/project/2032-pic32-oscilloscope by Bruce Land (Cornell University) that is based on examples from "Programming 32-bit Microcontrollers in C: Exploring the PIC32" by Lucio Di Jasio.

GIF decoder was taken from NetSurf project "libnsgif" (MIT-license):

http://www.netsurf-browser.org/projects/libnsgif/

Authors: Richard Wilson, Sean Fox and James Bursa (decode_gif.c)

JPG decoder is a public domain library called "picojpeg":

In order to build PIC32 application you need MPLAB X IDE from Microchip with XC32 compiler. You need to create empty project for PIC32MX170F256B (or smaller device if your program will fit) and add header files:

• xorlib.h
• nedofont.h

and source files:

• xorlib.c
• nedofont.c
• yourapp.c (with function main - for example hello.c).

Then you need to add additional options for xc32-gcc (in Project Properties):

• option -DPIC32NTSC will use internal 8 MHz oscillator with setting 30MHz as peripheral clock and 60MHz as CPU clock (black and white modes only):

• option -DPIC32NTSCQ will use external crystal 14.31818 MHz with setting 28.63636MHz as peripheral clock and 57.27272MHz as CPU clock (this option enables NTSC colors similar to CGA "composite" mode):

Also it is a good idea to power your device through the same PICkit3 that you will use for programming (option "Power" for PICkit3 configuration of Project Properties in MPLAB X) - this is PICKit3 pinout:

1. MCLR (pin 1)
2. +3.3V (pin 13)
3. GND (pin 8)
4. PGED1 (pin 4)
5. PGEC1 (pin 5)
6. Not connected
