Arduino Pong, Part 1: The display

As mentioned in my last post, I've been learning up electronics with the Arduino. I found a few 5 by 7 LED matrices at a local surplus store (pictured above), so I figured another fun beginner project would be creating a clone of pong using a few of these for the screen.

I've been learning electronics and playing with an Arduino lately and realized I had a spare Nintendo 64 joystick. A fun challeng for a beginner like me to figure out how it works, and use it with an arduino!
