In this project I made an old school style video game for the Adafruit PyBadge. To recreate it you will need to use an CircuitPython and the stage library to create the game which I called Egg Collector. The game will also work on other variants of PyBadge hardware, like the PyGamer and the EdgeBadge. The full completed game code with all the assets can be found here.
The guide assumes that you have prior coding experience, hopefully in Python. It is designed to use just introductory concepts. No Object Oriented Programming (OOP) are used so that anyone with a basic grade 11 knowledge of python programming can recreate it.
Parts
You will need the following items:
Adafruit PyBadge for MakeCode Arcade, CircuitPython or Arduino
PRODUCT ID: 4200
Pink and Purple Braided USB A to Micro B Cable - 2 meter long
PRODUCT ID: 4148
So you can move your CircuitPython code onto the PyBadge.
You might also want:
Lithium Ion Polymer Battery Ideal For Feathers - 3.7V 400mAh
PRODUCT ID: 3898
So that you can play the game without having it attached to a computer with a USB cable.
Mini Oval Speaker - 8 Ohm 1 Watt
PRODUCT ID: 3923
If you want lots of sound. Be warned, the built in speaker is actually pretty loud.
I did not create this case. I Used Mr Coxall’s design <https://learn.adafruit.com/pybadge-case/>`_.
