I have been busy with the online Python Editor release, but finally had time to continue with this. Of course, I am not participating to the competition! ( because I am a judge )
Trying to take the joyhat into use. Reading buttons works ok in Python, but reading analog joystick values is not yet supported. I am adding that support to the Pokitto Micro Python port.
This is the back story: Pokitto is trying to smash all the bugs with a cannon but they keep coming again and again, no matter how hard Pokitto is fighting. It is rumoured that they are not just random bugs but there is a mastermind behind this invasion. The master of the bugs goes under the nickname “Core”, but nobody has yet seen him. Pokitto sets himself on the journey to find and eliminate the evil “Core”. The path through the unknown foreign circuit board is filled with many dangers and countless of horrible bugs, but nothing can stop Pokitto’s journey towards the bug free future…
Now the PokiTron demo is ready. It is really a simple demo, not a game. Shooting can be controlled by the analog stick and when the bug hits Pokitto the hat rumbles.
Note: The demo can be played without the hat also (use A button to shoot)
