    Open World 3D Game Engine for the PicoSystem & RP2040 Microcontroller

  • Very impressive, and very fun :)

    I wish I had the time to do this, but it looks like it would be relatively simple to modify render_rasterize.cpp [0] to do perspective-correct texture mapping [1]. I also wonder if going for a scanline approach [2] would be faster than iterating over the whole screen calculating barycentric coordinates?

  • PicoSystem_InfoNes

    NES emulator for the Pimoroni PicoSystem RP2040 gaming handheld.

  • As an aside, if you haven’t yet found this wonderful if tiny retro gaming experience, the InfoNES emulator project ported to PicoSystem is definitely worth hitting up:

    It’s still in early stages, no sound and no save points, but thoroughly cute and addictive nonetheless!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • yocto-8

    A (WIP) PICO-8 cartridge runner for the Raspberry Pi Pico

  • No in this case the Pico part comes from its use of the Pi Foundation's Pico microcontroller. There are projects[1] that are working on porting PICO-8 to the Picosystem. Unfortunately it will never be fully compatible with the PICO-8 standards as it isn't powerful enough but some games work.
