MMB 3D Sprites Demo

Version 1 - October 6, 2014

by Andrew Hazelden
Based Upon the Metal Basic Sprite Demo "TriCube" by Ivan Freyman.

This example plots 3D sprites on a Mikromedia PIC32 screen using the TFT Graphics library. You can use the buttons on a MikroElektronika Mikromedia Gaming Shield to control the rotation of the shapes, and change the active model between a plane, jack, cube, pyramid, and a octahedron.

The code was written using MikroC Pro for PIC32 and VisualTFT.
