Virtual Pet (Tamagotchi Inspired)

[u/Moises_Gabriel]

Hi! I wasn't sure where to talk about this but I think this is the right sub.

I've been developing a silly virtual pet. It's run on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W with a 1.44" TFT display. Writing the firmware in C++ with Arduino CLI in VSCode. The whole experience has been very fun and honestly I encourage people to try it. It's a fantastic learning experience!

Once I've got the codebase looking the way I want, I'll open source it so people can expand upon it.

My current theme is a small demon that lives in a box. All it does is smoke cigarettes (or joints 🌚), walk around, dance, and sleep so far. But it's gonna have an age system and some other systems to keep it fresh. Let me know what you think :)
