Looking back through old photos... back in 2021 as a fun "a few days" project I ported a poker solitaire game to the cute $45 handheld #Adafruit #pygamer, and got a backshell for it 3D printed (SLS pink nylon).
That being said, I haven't done anything more with this handheld, the bits of game design time I have are focused on PICO8 (cozy design tools, larger-yet-still-niche audience, playable on a range of retro handhelds like the RGB30) or offline pencil-and-paper games.
My PyGamer handheld game device arrived yesterday! It’s no Steam Deck, but for me, it’s better because it’s good hardware and programming practice, and costs a tenth as much! Looking forward to coding on it! 💻

I’m now the proud owner of an Adafruit PyGamer game console! It’s an open-source handheld game player that you can program using MakeCode Arcade, CircuitPython, or Arduino. I’d been meaning to get one for some time. There was a deal on them last weekend, so I placed an order for the PyGamer Starter Kit, which […]
1. The easiest way to get into microcontrollers for you is to buy @adafruit #pybadge or #pygamer and program it on #circuitpython, a limited version of #python.

2. #Rust will let you program anything and smartly utilize limited resources. Entry level is high.
3. #Golang strikes the balance. It's easy to learn and with #tinygo you can program any microcontrollers, including abovementioned pybadge.
