new game demo ideas

[fanfani]

• pong (and its variants as found in common pong console clones)

• tetris (a somewhat "reduced" version of)

• space invaders (a somewhat "reduced" version of)

• breakout

they all work well in both direct and back projection modes (no need to flip horizontally as in text)

Also (not a game, actually):

• Thinking Machines CM-5 computer blinkenlights inspired animation.

postin here as a placeholder a set of space invaders characters that can be used creating short animations instead of a full simulation of the game
