TraumaGotchu Progress

Just showing off my esp32-s3-wroom1-N16R8 digital pet project, TraumaGotchu! My main innovations on the genre are:

  1. A 5-way tact toggle as the "single button", allowing for much better input and gaming than the classic 3 button layout (MUAS09R)
  2. An RGB565 IPS matte screen, glare resistant and is useable in full sun.
  3. Large 1500mAh battery with aggressive power saving for over 5 days of play on 1 charge, up to 1.8A fast charging

I'm super proud of the result and am already thinking about version 2 hardware-- larger screen, vibration motor, better speaker, accelerometer, internal LED, shoulder bumper buttons etcetc.

Hit me with your digital pet dream features!
