off-topic • Amiga-like demo on raspberry pico2 (RISC-V flavour)

Some remarkable technical work behind this, an amiga-like usage of the two cores of a pico2, plus the PIO engines, plus a DMA engine used as a random number generator(!), plus the interpolator used for rotozoom scaling(?) - and choosing to use the RISC-V cores rather than the ARM cores.

Kaleidoscopico is a microcontroller demo by Linus Åkesson that runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2. It placed 2nd in the Wild compo at Revision 2025.
