In the world of DIY retro gaming, the craziest ideas often give rise to the most exciting projects. And so, with the excuse of testing a new ESP32C3 development board, equipped with a 0.44" micro display (70x30 pixels), a unique experiment was born: a micro cocktail cabinet!
But that's not all: to push creativity even further, I decided to entrust the creation of the game code to ChatGPT. The result? MATTOCINO, a micro-game that comes to life on this tiny screen and demonstrates how AI can also contribute to the world of retro-gaming.
In the video tutorial we will explore each phase:
✅ The design of the micro cocktail cabinet
✅ The code generated by the AI for the game
✅ The potential of the ESP32C3 board
✅ And of course... the final result!
Was it a success or a total disaster? Let's find out together!
NOTE: There are some versions of ESP32C3 that have a display with a different offset. You will find in the repository a variant of code with offset0 to use in case you see the bricks in the middle of the screen instead of the top.
