I wondered if... and yes you can...
Pong the classic video game xPreset

I'm sure there's better ways of doing this, but thought I'd share.

(for a 16*50 pixel matrix, 4 layers)

Nice work. I am a huge retro gaming fan so this is right up my alley. I just built a hyperspin arcade machine last year. Great fun and very cool.

I have been pondering doing a sequence this year based I retro gaming. Considered songs from the movies Pixel and Wreck It Ralph. Haven't really made up my mind, but leaning toward the song "When will I see you Again". I don't really know of any killer retro gaming/Christmas song.

Any way, if you have any ideas let me know. Thanks for the preset.

Tetris.
There's a retro game with an almost Christmas like background.

You do realise the new XLights scheduler includes a Tetris Easter egg you can play on your mega tree or matrix.

I've seen the video, but I can't find it in the software.  Is there a secret up, up, down, down, left, right, left combo I need to enter to unlock it? 

It's really cool, btw.  Thank you for all of the hard work on this program.
