Overview
This program is a simple game implemented in MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi Pico with a Pico-LCD-1.14 display. The game involves controlling a paddle to control a ball to break a brick wall and score points. The program includes a splash screen, game over screen, and a main game loop.
Framebuffer
The program uses a framebuffer to draw the game graphics. The framebuffer is a 2D array that represents the pixels on the display. The program uses the micropyhton framebuf module to create and manipulate the framebuffer. The framebuffer is then copied to the display using the blit method.
Multithreading
The program uses multithreading to handle the game logic and the display updates separately. The threading module is used to create and manage the threads. The game logic is run in a separate thread from the display updates to ensure smooth gameplay and responsive controls.
Game Logic
The game logic is implemented in the game_loop function. This function runs in a separate thread and handles the following tasks:
- Updating the game state based on user input and game rules
- Generating new obstacles and updating their positions
- Checking for collisions between the character and obstacles
- Updating the score based on the player's performance
- Sending the updated game state to the display thread for rendering
