**Save directly when clicking on Export.** This saves the game completely. This file can be used to create backup copies of all inputs for the currently opened game. The save is placed in the browser's download folder.
**Save directly when clicking on Download Game Config.** This saves the config file for use in PPUC-PinMame. The save is placed in the browser's download folder.
**CAUTION:** After confirmation, **the currently opened element** will be irrevocably deleted. The currently opened element (Game, LED-Stripe, LED, PWM-Device, Board, etc.) is deleted via this button. If you are in the game interface without having selected an element, the game will be deleted. **Note when deleting a game:** Only the game configuration is deleted. All associated boards, LED-Stripes, etc. remain. These will still be available for selection in the settings. If you want to delete the elements of a game, it's best to delete the subordinate elements first!
Elements such as Boards, LED-Strings, LEDs, etc. can be cloned using this button. This means that the element is cloned with the last saved inputs. You can recognize this by the extended title "Clone".
A new game is created by pressing the "+ Add Game" button.

This controls WS2811, WS2812, and other addressable LEDs, also RGBW like SK6812. It doesn't have to be a chain. It can also be strips, or individual LEDs that are connected to each other in another way. The principle of these LEDs, however, is to form a continuous chain, in which the data line only goes in one direction and only as one strand, never in a circle. For control, data is sent to the corresponding LED. This data packet passes by all connected LEDs. Only the LED with the corresponding number responds.
**Title:** Choose a unique title that helps you identify the light chain. **I/O Board:** The I/O board to which the LED chain is connected. **Port:** Port number of the board to which the LED chain is connected. For the I/O Boards 16-8-1, this is port 25. See the labeling on the board:

The light chain can be divided into segments. This serves to apply animated light effects to certain sections of the chain. These effects are predefined and stored in the firmware of the boards and can be triggered. **From** - **to** defines the position of the first and last LED of the respective section in the chain.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique where the output voltage is regulated by rapidly switching the current flow on and off and varying the on-time (pulse width). A longer on-pulse results in a higher average output voltage, while a shorter pulse creates a lower voltage. This method allows efficient and precise control of power output. PWM is also used to keep the output voltage stable, even if the load changes. In addition, it allows the control of LED brightness, motor speed, and power output to many other electronic devices.

Here you'll always have an overview of all elements added to the game. You can also edit them directly by clicking Edit.
This button in the side header of a selected game saves the complete information that has been added to the game. The file name is generated from the Game Title. The file is written in plain text in YAML format. You use this file with PPUC-Pinmame. With this, the PPUC part in PinMame learns the structure of the board configuration. You can create different configurations and use them in PPUC-Pinmame.
This button in the side header of a selected game saves the complete information that has been added to the game. The file name is strangely long, but this makes it unique and machine-readable. You should regularly create a backup using this button. After triggering the button, the file is immediately saved to the browser's download folder. This file can be loaded later (Game Import) or passed on. The file is not saved in plain text and includes ROM and image files.
