This is an update to the MicroPython version that adds support for playing WAV files and updates the Ghouls game to v0.4, which introduces ground/sky rendering, sound effects, an in-game mini map, projectile effects, and many optimizations!

Notes:

  • You can use the File Browser app to select .wav files to play (8, 16, and 24-bit are supported).
  • Up to 4 WAV files can be played simultaneously (though this is only possible with a custom script).
  • Occasionally, exiting Ghouls causes the device to freeze. Rebooting will resolve the issue, and your stats should still be saved.
  • The PicoW's Wi-Fi driver is failing, so you'll need a Pico2W or Pimoroni 2W for networking.
  • For audio to work in Ghouls, you'll need to download the assets folder from here and add it to your SD card in picoware/apps/games/ghouls/. The quickest way is to download this repository as a .zip file (clicking here will start the download from GitHub) and copy and paste the folder into the directory. This process will be streamlined in future updates.
