Silicon8 for Thumby v2.0.0 #3
Conversation
|
This method doesn't work... I'm working on a small grayscale library now, that others may also be able to use for their Thumby games / programs. When that gets somewhat stable, I'll add it here. |

Technically works like a charm now. Issues left:
That last point (and a bit of the first) is why half of this PR is spiralling into doing code optimizations 🙈 Also there's a memory leak somewhere which exacerbates the last issue. I could reset the Thumby on every CHIP-8 program start, just like the main Thumby menu does, that would contain the issue between program starts. But I'm having really random crashes sometimes, that look like we just happen to run out of memory at that point... that's a bit of a more serious problem. Not entirely sure where to take this from here, so I'm sleeping on this for a bit. Maybe try precompiling some of the files to |
Done so far
There's now only just enough memory left to allocate the full 64K 🤯 Issues left

…n. Sound pattern can be bytearray.
….mpy files from .py files where possible
… files more reliably

Rebased this on main, which messes up the order of things, but hey :) Things seem to be quite stable now! Just a couple of things left to test and to iron out before this may turn into Silicon8 for Thumby version 2.0! 🎉 |

This message isn't correct, plus we will want to throw this exception and handle it elsewhere

This makes no sense anymore

Maybe double check these?
Needs some love, and testing on actual hardware...
