New Game! Space Invaders is ready to play and is the most complex game written in the PicoBoySDK

New Hardware! I am currently in the process of prototyping a new version of the PicoBoy!

Notice: Make sure to update to the latest micropython release! This new OS version has full compatibility with the latest release of micropython

Notice: I will be taking a break from major PicoBoy development for the holidays. If I come across any bugs I will fix them, but I will not be working on new games/software/features until January.

OS Updates:

  • Fixed issue where the display driver encounters issues running the backlight in newer micropython versions
  • SDK updates

Game Updates:

  • New game: Space Invaders
  • Changed "PRESS ANY BUTTON" to "PRESS A TO PLAY" in games that was incorrect previously

SDK Updates:

  • Added line drawing tools to the SDK
  • fixed issue where PlayerObject.initx and PlayerObject.inity could not be called
  • Added section to documentation documenting how to draw lines on the screen (line(), hline(), vline())

In the future:

  • A PicoBoy Communication Software version on Debian Linux
