Manic-pi-ner

A screensaver homage to Matthew Smith's Manic Miner intended for use with the Raspberry Pi Zero W¹ and Pimoroni's Display-o-tron 3000.

¹ May work with other Raspberry Pi models compatible with Pimoroni's dot3k but I have tested only with the Pi Zero W.

License

See license

Pre-requisites

You'll need...

• a willingness to overlook a really bad word play in the repository name 😒
• a Raspberry Pi Zero W with Pimoroni Displayotron 3000 (dot3k) installed and working per the Pimoroni documentation
• git installed

sudo apt-get install git

Usage

Change directory to the ../dot3k/advanced/ dir, clone the repository, make the manic.py executable then execute it:

cd ~/Pimoroni/displayotron/examples/dot3k/advanced
git clone https://github.com/reedand/manic-pi-ner ./manic-pi-ner
cd manic-pi-ner
chmod +x manic.py
./manic.py

Use the joystick/button or break out of the Python script to exit.
