I flippin love coloured lights! ♥️💚💙
Here's the scrolly message code so far.
Please applaud the kerning.
The #GalacticUnicorn is a hunk of fun to play with. The #PicoGraphics interface seems very suboptimal for pixel work. Lots of set_pen(create_pen(...)) calls. And I've got a feeling there are errant pixels - hard to pick up IRL but I think they're in the video.
That's enough for now!

So @kenney's work is handy for nice UI assets on tiny #RaspberryPiPico screens too, using #PicoGraphics sprite sheets

TIL a JPG doesn't have any headers that define the height and width of the image?

You have to loop through the file, checking the bytes in the segments? What. That seems...inefficient.

#Pimoroni's #jpegdec included in #PicoGraphics was returning 0,0 until decoding and displaying the JPG, so if anyone needs to do get the height and width in #MicroPython so you can do things before displaying the image, here's a gist with the basics:
