A Library for the Gameduino shield

This is a library for the Gameduino, a shield for the Arduino. It uses a secondary library to recreate the arduino functionality. This is to keep this library as close to the original as possible. The original was released by James Bowman, who designed the Gameduino. His webpage (http://excamera.com/sphinx/gameduino/) has tutorials and plenty of other information on the Gameduino. I have published a lot of the demos on his page and they can be found here:

I've also ported Invaders, written for the arduino by Colin (couldn't find his surname) and can be found at http://www.artlum.com/gameduino/gameduino.html:

Import program Gameduino_Invaders_game

and made a template for gameduino based projects. I have used an mbeduino board and have included a a file shield.h which contains the pinouts for this board. This can easily be modified to your needs. As a default I have chosen to use pull ups on the joystick inputs and switch down to 0V. This can be quickly altered and this is at the top of most main.c files, with the exception of invaders. This has more configuration options in the joystick files.
