what’s good

✅ Outstanding Art and Graphics

The game’s hand-drawn pixel art adds a unique touch to the vehicles and in-game obstacles like the saws. Screen shakes from boosts or collisions create a tactile connection, making you feel every jolt and jerk that the car experiences. Little particle effects from boosting or colliding with walls add to the immersive gaming experience.

what’s good

Great gameplay execution

  • I love the core concept of the game – it adds depth and a new way mechanic to play around with in the “pong-style” game category.
  • The powerups remind me of the powerups in breakout. I think this is a great mechanic to switch up the gameplay loop for the players.

How I converted my Logitech G29 into a rudder system using the Pi Pico

How I converted my Logitech G29 into a rudder system using the Pi Pico

purpose

I enjoy playing flight simulators and, during the build process for this adapter (June 2022) I was reeeaaaally into DCS World and MSFS 2020. Both of which, heavily rely on a rudder axis. I have a HOTAS system and the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo peripherals, which are great. But I don’t, however, have any “professional” rudder pedals.

In my eyes I couldn’t justify spending $200-$300 CAD on a device that closely resembles my pedal system on my Logitech G29. Another issue is that my place is small and I’m already lacking space to store the devices I have now, let alone a separate rudder system.

Wow… we’re finally doing this!

Hello World! By now you’ve probably read those two words hundreds of times, even more if you’re a part of the dev ecosystem. Nonetheless, welcome to my blog / personal website project, I hope you enjoy your stay :)
