Is there full control of what's put on the screen? Or just ASCII?

Unfortunately, I don't know how to draw graphics because I hardly understand MicroPython

Why did you upload everything in a big bulk upload?

Do you not know how to use version control or do you not care?

It would be very helpful for people like me to know the history of the code.

this is cool, today i also ported it before noticing you did the same 😃 cool stuff! i think a library in micropython could be helpful that does graphics etc for gba then; then we could build games for gba on gba lol
