About The Project
This project provides a modular and extensible application framework for the BBC micro:bit. It supports multiple interactive applications with a shared UI and rendering infrastructure. It uses message-passing channels and safe numeric arithmetic via bounded, clamped, and wrapped integer types.
Features
- Modular application management with a switcher component.
- Menu, Snake, Badge, and future NFC applications included.
- Real-time rendering to the micro:bit LED matrix.
- Button input driven by asynchronous event channels.
- Renderer abstraction for pixel-level control.
- Channel-based messaging for input and output decoupling.
- Safe integer handling using bounded, clamped, and wrapped types.
