Stage is a library that lets you display tile grids and sprites on SPI-based RGB displays in CircuitPython. It is mostly made with video games in mind, but it can be useful in making any kind of graphical user interface too.
For performance reasons, a part of this library has been written in C and has
to be compiled as part of the CircuitPython firmware as the _stage module.
For memory saving reasons, it's best if this library is also included in the
firmware, as a frozen module.
The API reference is available at http://circuitpython-stage.readthedocs.io.
.. automodule:: stage :members:
.. module:: ugame
.. data:: display
An initialized display, that can be used for creating Stage objects.
.. data:: buttons
An instance of ``GamePad`` or other similar class, that has a
``get_pressed`` method for retrieving a bit mask of pressed buttons. That
value can be then checked with & operator against the constants: ``K_UP``,
``K_DOWN``, ``K_LEFT``, ``K_RIGHT``, ``K_X``, ``K_O`` and on some platforms
also: ``K_START`` and ``K_SELECT``.
.. data:: audio
And instance of the ``Audio`` or other similar class, that has ``play``,
``stop`` and ``mute`` methods.
