Very excited about this. Catode32s can now wirelessly communicate and can visit each other on play dates. It uses ESP-NOW to handle the data and keep everything in sync.

That would be the one 😁 And I'd be thrilled to, 10 minutes would suffice!

The prototypes are running on batteries. They're actually portable now! Also added dynamic weather and forecasts, celestial movements, more minigames, and more locations. Excited to take some of them to a tech meetup next week to let people play with them. #esp32 #micropython

I actually have a few of the larger ones sitting around, and in a few different colors too. Definitely need to try swapping them out

My virtual pet! It's built using micropython and runs on an #esp32

Got some prototype hardware soldered up, and the screen and buttons are all working! It feels like a big milestone, but there's still lots of programming work ahead...
