Pico Display - Updated tank game for the Raspberry Pi Pico with PicoGraphics
This video explains the changes I’ve had to make my Raspberry Pi Pico Tank Game, so that it will work on the latest version of the Pimoroni MicroPython libraries for the Raspberry Pi Pico display pack. As well as explaining the changes I needed to make because of the new library, this is going to talk about the potential pitfalls of doing something that doesn’t follow the API, as my earlier code read data direct from display memory and that is no longer possible. It’s also going to provide an introduction to programming the Pimoroni PicoDisplay library for anyone that is looking at creating their own code to run on the PicoDisplay.
