Yeah, a little typo there. Also, I figured out the problem. I have to add the score % 100 thingy in the make_track() before score += 1, not in draw, as draw is executed more often.
I have written a simple racing game in Pygame Zero. This comes from the MagPi "Retro Gaming with Raspberry Pi" Book. I am a beginner programmer so I might be asking an obvious question. I want to make levels. For every 100 score, level + 1. Win at 10 levels. areas of interest might be my `draw()` fu...
Thank you all for your replies. I've looked at the 2D engine, that sounds good. Regarding the book, I don't seem to find instructions for programming something 'understandable' for the RetroPie, but I did find some interesting projects indeed. Now, do you guys know if I could program a simple game i...
Hello everyone. I made an Arcade Cabinet and I'm loving it. I can lay PacMan, Space Invaders, and even the newer homebrew games such as Nova the Squirrel and Alter Ego. It's a Pi 3B running RetroPie. A few ROMs, I must say, I downloaded from random websites, others I got from the Steam Atari pack, t...
Do not attempt to write this into your python script. They will be completely pointless and would only confuse the assistant. What you need to do: 1) get the assistant running correctly with your credentials. 2) on the same Wi-Fi using the same Google account as the credentials, open the Google hom...
Hey guys, I have been online for such a long time now and I really can't seem to find a working option. My plan is to run a program on BrickPi3 using Python which is very simple - move the robot forward when pressing 'w', stop it when 's' is pressed. I'm new to BrickPi3 and this is just to test. I k...
Hello! In my AIY project, I want to stream music from YouTube. For this, I used the guide here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=182665 and here: https://ktinkerer.co.uk/update-new-version-google-aiy-project-write-basic-mods/ , I tried to adjust the YouTube music streamer to ...
Hello! I am firing up the AIY Voice Kit I got with the MagPi a while ago... It works great, added a few of my own commands, just to test it out (in the assistant_library_local_commands.py (or so) file). But now comes the harder part of this project: adding the ability to play music. I've tried this ...
Hi! I've set up (again) my old voice kit I got some time ago with the MagPi. I've followed Google's online instructions and it works well. Now I can run the assistant, or run my own commands. But I got a question: is it possible to run the assistant, while also listening for own commands which can b...
Thanks. I don't know everyone, but on the part of this particular island in Finland near Helsinki, I'd probably have some relatives checking on it for free, once a month or twice. Now, is it safe? Well, now that the Pi will be powering on every day for a minute, well, I think that should do, but I m...
Yeah, so I was thinking instead of detecting when it's dark or taking a picture every hour I would power the Pi at noon every day, take a snap, and shut down. I might be using a car battery, but I would still need to look at some details. Main thing is, the battery has to be totally safe and also re...
Thank you for your very detailed reply. As I don't live in Finland and am only there one month a year, nearly all the time in July/August. I've never been there in the winter and I know how dark it is. My idea is it sends me a picture just for fun in the few daylight hours to spare. To come to think...
Hello everyone! In short: I will try making a webcam in Finland. I need all the help I can get because this will be a very hard project and there are many factors I have to consider. Let me start with introducing myself. I live in New York State, in Westchester County to be exact. (In USA). In Finla...
Yep, I'd rather not throw in some RAM because I have another computer, a really good one actually. So the Eee PC wouldn't be a replacement, just a fun little project. Not sure if you'd want to spend $40-$50 upgrading an old Netbook, though... So I will have to investigate what's going on there. Is t...
So I'm running the x86 Debian distribution (I heard I shouldn't be calling it 'Rasbian for PC') and it's really laggy.

I just fixed up my Voice Kit and it seems to be working perfectly fine, the Google Assistant, at least. But now I'm thinking about adding a few more mods, to make it like a music station or something else. I will be using this guide/repo of mods: https://ktinkerer.co.uk/list-mods-raspberry-pi-aiy-pr...
So I was working on my AIY voice project (the box, the one you get from the MagPi) and suddenly the black wire to the arcade button ripped! WIN_20181112_09_35_57_Pro.jpg Yes, I admit it was quite old, dating back to May 2017. But I really want to continue making and I don't see an option in buying a...
