Most of the midwit memes I see on programming are : - beginner "lets write simple, to the point code" - midwit: noo let's have many layers of abstraction just in case - jedi: let's write simple, to the point code

As a hobby I created in 2014 a console on a single microcontroller that does exactly that, with VGA resolution https://bitboxconsole.blogspot.com/

That's where realtime and fast differ : you can consider there's a "hard"-er real-time at 100ms by example, where you can drop some frames but you don't want to block the ui. Be slow but don't block the UI.

that's nice, but .. wouldn't it be better to implement kitty graphics directly at this time ? https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/

This totally didnt happen to me again recently. But next time I surely won't forget those. (Cue to a few months from now...)

Also everywhere you want smooth gradients on any application. Go search gradient rendering without banding by example. Dithering will almost certainly be mentioned.

Decoding a black and white compressed image using a two color palette is essentially free. You have to paint a bit to a color, might as well choose #ff00ff instead of #111111 for "black"

Love the project, writing style and what is was made of (fpga, round lcd, Jupiter moons sim... so cool). But now I'm frustrated I can't see the display animation.

Funny that it does not need that much data to train your average 20th century human genius. I'd say that if we are dreaming of the future of ai, learning and reasoning seems the greatest issue, not data. That said, the article title is

ESP32 chips also need external SPI Flash, and many STM32 have little flash and QuadSPI with execute from external flash capabilities, so I don't see this as a specificity of RP2040.

I agree simplicity is king. But you're comparing making a script using dependencies and tooling for those dependencies and a C program with no dependencies. You can download a simple python script and run it directly if it has no depen

Nice! So what this means is that you put all info for flashing a part of flash in a 512 byte sector so you don't need filesystem info (place within file, even order) since it's all written as a bunch of self contained 512 bytes co

Maybe pip should not work by default (but python -m venv then pip install should)

I often wonder how you do that : the usb mass storage let you use blocks, not files (if you want files use the MTP/PTP usb protocol), so how will the target "know" that I'm uploading a file to write to the flash wihtout

If you like DeluxePaint and Free software, do not forget GrafX2 - http://grafx2.chez.com/ a project dating from the 90s which is a direct descendant of it (pixel art UI included) but still updated !

Fairly agree with you, but a buzzer also can be removed.
