Hungry Gecko Game on Memory LCD

This game is meant to run on a Silicon labs EFM32 Happy Gecko Starter Kit, and demonstrate the use of the Memory LCD. User controls the push buttons on the kit PB1, and PB0 to let the gecko turn left and right respectively in order to eat the food. User should avoid running into the body of the gecko, otherwise game is over. It is allowed to hit the wall and go from the other side of it. Have fun!

Libraries

gecko.h

This class creates a gecko object, draws it on the memory LCD according to its movement, and keeps track of the length of the gecko
