Thanks for creating great extension.
I am waiting for it.
I have try all the blocks in these extension, but only these 2 blocks
- paint number at position
- paint segment at position
what are these command do?
How to use them?
Best regards,
Narongporn L.
paint number draws a Digit at a specified position
paint segment (A-G) draws parts A-F of the Digitnumber. To show negative numbers you can use the segment G.
Don´t forget to use “refresh display” from the paint category at the end.
Hope that helps!
Your Michael
This answers my earlier question about how to enlarge the digital read out on the small OLED on the DF Robot Micro:IoT board for Microbit. My first question is always: Do the extensions conflict? and here , no , they don’t. Yes your 7 segment display enlarges the numerals greatly so thanks so much for this Michael ! We can use this in class with ThingSpeak and IoT projects: https://makecode.microbit.org/_EckJgyP12eEv
Video: thank you MKlein for 7 seg. paint. Here Jason Davies shows how to use it and I put it on the DFRobot Micro:IoT .96 inch OLED. Code link in description of video:

i know this is 2 years old but this is really cool so here is some ideas to make this better(please do them this is the best extension i’ve ever seen):
- make the paint feature grid smaller (that IS possible, i saw a small grid in an extension one time but idk how they made that)
- backgrounds.
this might be laggy. - sprites.
it would be the best thing ever. - and also, collision.
ok maybe that’s too hard to do but if you ever make collision and sprites,
…
i dont know what to say.
yeah uhh thats it if you do this i will uuuh um uh uuhm muhhuum huhm huhmhu mhu mhu mhumhuh muh mhum hu uhmu mhuhmmuhumhh umhumhumhh muh muh umhumhmuhhuhumhumhhumhhhumhumhumhumh dies
(by make the grid smaller i meant make the pixels in the grid smaller)
Thanks for your feedback.
I developed the extension for the calliope mini which has less memory than the new microbit so there would be a problem with new features and buffer for sprites and so on and currently I don´t have enough time for it, sorry.
Greetings
Michael

@MKleinSB when are you planning to continue on this extension?
If you want to make and play your own games, I recommend getting some makecode arcade hardware. These days you can find them pretty cheap
uuuhm… economy in other countries? did you forget about that?
What country do you live in? I could probably find a nice pygamer for you
in tĂĽrkiye (turkey), 1 dollar is 27 lira. so that means, in the official website, it costs 1227 turkish lira. if you want to, try to find the cheapest thing ever.
WOAH. i did all of that! i dont get the need of asking for these anymore! (because i already made them)
pygamers are now in stock!
its 1.279 turkish lira.
if you really want it to be cheap, the pybadge LC is only 851.96 turkish lira
woah! thanks!!!
