About this project

About this project

A watch-shaped console: a 466×466 round AMOLED with touch, motion sensor and speaker on a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.75, running eleven games made for a circular screen plus a five-face Pocket Watch clock. Games are not compiled in. Each is plain C against a single header, packed into a .tat file by one script and installed onto a running watch, so adding a game never means a firmware build. A C#/Avalonia desktop app moves packages between watch and a library folder, reads each copy back from disk before deleting the watch's file, and keeps scores in the watch's settings store. Firmware builds with ESP-IDF 5.5.5. The first install writes bootloader, partition table and app over USB in about 15 s; later updates can go over Wi-Fi. Stated issue: Wi-Fi sending runs at 5-15 KB/s.
