Sprite Machine
This is a proof of concept to test displaying 8x8 RGB sprite animation on a ColorDuino.

Project Description
As the Colorduino has a ATmega328P, with 32kB of flash and 2kB of RAM, displaying sprite animations requires some tricks.
The spritesheet is first fed through a python script spritesheet2h.py that extracts the color
palette and then generates an Arduino source file with the indexed sprites data
stored in flash.
This gets compiled along with the rest of the code and when run, the indexed color is read from flash for each pixel. It thus requires only a few bytes of memory for any frames of the animation.
The generated data is available as an example in src/spritesheet.h.
Requirements
Current status
It's a proof of concept, it does nothing useful apart from displaying sprites.
