By the way, you don’t need to zip before uploading to Github.
Github offers the ability to download all files as a .zip.
In fact just uploading a .zip instead of all the files kind of defeats the point of Github, since it stops Github from tracking individual file changes.
I’m glad you chose a licence though, licences are good.
Hahaha, this is fantastic. There are some people on twitter working for an OS within pico8, and they’ve implemented an Arduboy emulator within that. So if they can run your application within their application. This is turning out really well, I think this is how we can prove we all live in a simulation.
Nice! I have this idea of making an arduboy password manager with a companion app, It should be easy , do some eeprom magic, and write a companion app in python that can read and write to serial with the Serial lib and tkinter.
