"Retro Gaming Console using Raspberry Pi"

 Here's a complete program code for a Retro Gaming Console using a Raspberry Pi:

import os
import pygame

# Initialize the game library
pygame.init()

# Set screen size
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))

# Set title for the window
pygame.display.set_caption("Retro Gaming Console")

# Load the games list
games_list = []
for file in os.listdir("/home/pi/games"):
    if file.endswith(".py"):
        games_list.append(file)

# Display the list of games on screen
for i, game in enumerate(games_list):
    font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
    text = font.render(game, True, (255, 255, 255))
    text_rect = text.get_rect()
    text_rect.centerx = screen.get_rect().centerx
    text_rect.centery = screen.get_rect().centery + i * 40
    screen.blit(text, text_rect)

# Refresh the screen
pygame.display.update()

# Wait for user input
running = True
while running:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.unicode == 'q':
                running = False
            elif event.unicode.isdigit() and int(event.unicode) <= len(games_list):
                os.system("python3 /home/pi/games/" + games_list[int(event.unicode) - 1])

# Quit the program
pygame.quit()

Explanation:

  • The code uses the pygame library to initialize the gaming environment and display a list of games stored in the /home/pi/games directory.
  • The games list is loaded and displayed on the screen with the game names.
  • The program waits for the user to input a digit or 'q' to select a game or quit the program. If a digit is entered, the corresponding game is launched using the os.system command.
  • The program quits when the user presses 'q'.

Hardware Setup:

  • A Raspberry Pi board
  • An HDMI display
  • Joystick controllers (2)
  • Power supply (for the Raspberry Pi and display)

Explanation:

  • The Raspberry Pi board is connected to the HDMI display through an HDMI cable.
  • Two joystick controllers are connected to the Raspberry Pi through USB ports.
  • A power supply is needed to provide power to the Raspberry Pi and the display
