Space Invaders

Hi, i have a problem with the Space Invaders game from Hackvision.
I got original Arduino UNO R3 and i can’t build code of the game in Arduino IDE.

This is the error:

invalid conversion from ‘const unsigned char*’to ‘unit8_t’

SpaceInvaders.ino: In function ‘void gameOver()’:

Please help 🙁

Did you install the required libraries correctly? The process is described here: http://nootropicdesign.com/hackvision/games.html. If you are using the original Hackvision.pde game, then you need the older TVout library downloadable from nootropicdesign.com.

If you downloaded the standalone SpaceInvaders.ino sketch, then that uses the TVout from Google Code. The instructions say this:

NOTE: This original firmware no longer works with the newer versions of Arduino and the Uno bootloader.
You can use the standalone Space Invaders and Pong games. These are to be used with the TVout library at Google Code and the Hackvision Controllers library.

Thanks a lot.
I had to download a version from Google Code 🙂

Subject for close.
