Introducing pkklib – A Lightweight C Library for PicoCalc

PicoCalc
1

I’m excited to share pkklib, a lightweight and modular C library I created for building games and demos on the PicoCalc– the Raspberry Pi Pico-powered calculator.

:wrench: What pkklib offers:

  • Simple APIs for screen drawing, input, and sound
  • Designed to be fast and memory-efficient
  • Great for retro games, tools, and creative experiments
  • Includes a ready-to-use project template

:package: You can find it here:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: GitHub - redbug26/pkklib: pkklib - A free and open development kit for the clockworkPi PicoCalc

To kick things off, I also ported a Game Boy-style Tetris clone to PicoCalc using pkklib — check it out in the repo!

I’d love to hear what you build with it. Feedback and contributions welcome!

@redbug26 Can I reference your project from my repo? The PicoCalc Text Starter (on GitHub) isn’t intended to write games and I hand wave to say their are other projects out there. It would be great if I could redirect people to your project.
