Looking back through old photos... back in 2021 as a fun "a few days" project I ported a poker solitaire game to the cute $45 handheld #Adafruit #pygamer, and got a backshell for it 3D printed (SLS pink nylon).
That being said, I haven't done anything more with this handheld, the bits of game design time I have are focused on PICO8 (cozy design tools, larger-yet-still-niche audience, playable on a range of retro handhelds like the RGB30) or offline pencil-and-paper games.

Video of wavetable scanning using this new visualization technique. I love it! The resulting images are so beautiful and I'm finding the visualization really useful. Making me rethink my little synth toy designs

I'm working on visualizing wavetables for CircuitPython synth stuff. Can you match the image on the left and right? Pretty cool but wow such a different way to see these waves! (each horizontal line is one waveform from the wavetable) The Pygamer is a great tool for this exploration since it has (albeit, noisy) audio outs in addition to screen + keys

1. The easiest way to get into microcontrollers for you is to buy @adafruit #pybadge or #pygamer and program it on #circuitpython, a limited version of #python.

2. #Rust will let you program anything and smartly utilize limited resources. Entry level is high.
3. #Golang strikes the balance. It's easy to learn and with #tinygo you can program any microcontrollers, including abovementioned pybadge.
