@sako@mastodon.gamedev.place Sounds fun, may I ask you what is the screen and how do you access it? I might want to keep that around to fiddle with in the future
EDIT: Looks like you've got Waveshare's E-ink displays, I guess you have dev board like an Arduino or RPi to interact with it, interesting! Thanks for the idea!

@Ronflaix@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah it's one of those displays and i'm using an arduino nano to put images on it. the basic arduinos like the uno and nano don't have enough ram for a frame buffer big enough for this display (or something like that), so all they can do is display bitmap images, no shape drawing or anything else like that. you can do more dynamic stuff if you connect one to an RPi or other microcontrollers with more ram. (I have a pi4 lying around but i'm too lazy to set it up just for this right now)
