Take inspiration from the golden age of video games and learn how to write your own modern classics

Code the Classics Volume I not only tells the stories of some of the seminal video games of the 1970s and 1980s, but shows you how to create your own games inspired by them, following examples programmed by Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton. You’ll learn how to install Python, Pygame Zero, and an IDE so you can run and edit the games in this book. You'll also:

• Get game design tips and tricks from the masters
  
• Learn how to code your own games with Pygame Zero
• Explore the code listings and find out how they work

You'll meet these vintage-inspired games, and learn from their code in between rounds of play:

• Boing!: All it took was a couple of lines and a dot, and gamers would be queuing up to play.
• Cavern: Enduringly popular, the platform game genre is still packed with creative possibilities.
• Infinite Bunner: Play around with the benefits that a top-down perspective can lend to the classic platform genre.
• Myriapod: Some shooters confine the gameplay to a single screen while limiting the player's movement. Restrictions can build challenge and difficulty, making for truly addictive gaming.
• Substitute Soccer: Top-down games of pinball-style soccer built a huge cult following and kicked off a sports genre that's still going strong.

Code the Classics Volume II not only tells the stories of some of the seminal video games of the 1980s, but shows you how to create your own games inspired by them, following examples programmed by Andrew Gillett, ably assisted by Raspberry Pi co-founder and CEO Eben Upton along with Sean M. Tracey. In this book, you'll learn how to run and edit the games in this book by installing Python, Pygame Zero, and an IDE. You'll also:

• Get game design tips and tricks from the masters.
• Understand the fundamental tasks needed for every game: display images, play sound effects and receive inputs from the keyboard or a game controller.
• Learn how to code your own games with Pygame Zero, a library that helps automate those tasks.

• Explore the code listings and find out how they work.

You'll meet these vintage-inspired games, and learn from their code in between rounds of play:

Consumable Accessories Kit (To go with Laser Etcher )

An all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar addressable LED strips.

Plasma 2350 is powered and programmable by USB-C and, because USB-C is capable of drawing up to 3A of power, that's enough to power a healthy chunk of LEDs. There's a useful button that you could use to switch between effects, plus a reset button and an onboard RGB LED. We've also popped a QW/ST connector on there, to make it super easy to plug in Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts.

You can buy a Plasma 2350 on its own, or in a kit with a USB-C cable and some super-cool LED stars, so you can get started lighting stuff up right away.

Features

• Powered by RP2350A (Dual Arm Cortex M33 running at up to 150MHz with 520KB of SRAM)
• 4MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP
• Compatible with 5V WS2812/Neopixel/SK6812 and APA102/Dotstar/SK9822 LEDs
• Screw terminals for attaching your LED strip.
• USB-C connector for power and programming (3A max)
• Qw/ST (Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connector
• Intriguing new SP/CE connector
• Reset, BOOT and a user button (the BOOT button can also be used as a user button)
• RGB LED
• Fully-assembled (no soldering required)
• Measurements: approx 61 x 22 x 12mm (L x W x H, including connectors)
• Programmable with C/C++ or MicroPython

STARter Kit contains

• Plasma 2350
• USB-C cable for power and programming
• 10m RGB LED Star Wire

Getting Started

• RP2350 MicroPython builds and examples

Connecting Breakouts

If your breakout has a QW/ST connector on board, you can plug it straight in with a JST-SH to JST-SH cable, or you can easily connect any of our I2C breakouts with a JST-SH to JST-SH cable coupled with a Qw/ST to Breakout Garden adaptor.

• Breakouts currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython build

We've also broken out the I2C, analog, UART and debug pins so you can solder things like breakouts or analog potentiometers directly to them (or solder on a strip of header and plug the whole shebang into a breadboard).

About RP2350

The RP2350 chip is the Double Quarter Pounder & Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.

In addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI/HDMI output.

You can expect a tasty boost in performance - our "real world" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.

RP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products.

Give your next animatronic or robotic project the gift of eyes with this Snake Eyes Bonnet Pack for Raspberry Pi. The Snake Eyes bonnet is an accessory for driving TFT LCD displays, and it also provides four analog inputs for sensors. It's perfect for making cosplay masks, props, spooky sculptures for halloween, animatronics, robots...anything where you want to add a pair of animated eyes!

We recently added some very fancy 1.54" TFT displays with high density 240x240 resolution and IPS full angle viewing. Basically, they've got the image quality of an OLED, but the pricing of a TFT - and 4x the pixels of either! Perfect for dazzlingly good looking eyes. What's not to love?

We really really recommend only pairing this with a Raspberry Pi 3 or better. These high-density displays have a lot of pixels to push around and the quad-core Pi 3 will help keep the frame rate high and flicker-free.
