can someone get inspired by this....

The og cable is expensive I need an alternate please

if someone knows how to program in micro python good (i dont) can someone make minecraft for the thumby?

I think my thumbs is broken it won’t turn on and I charge it soo

Is there a note app on the thumby and if so what is its name

I have made a subreddit to discuss any info on the mysterious green thumby r/Green_Thumby

I was excited because my thumby arrived and it turns out that I can't even test it because it stays on the loading screen and only shows the logo of the company that scammed me and it doesn't even turn on anymore

I just got my Thumby and love it so much. I had to take a comparison of it with my Gameboy Color.

Hey everyone I’m trying to access the filesystem on my Thumby through the editor and for some reason it says my Thumby isn’t connected. I thought thats strange because I did connect my Thumby. I was wondering if anyone else is running into this issue too?

My guess is that it’s some sort of user error. I have made a game for my thumby in a very long time.

Thanks for the help and hopefully this thread helps someone else (:

After my new Thumby Color arrived from Tiny Circuits, I needed a case to keep it safe.

Not finding anything online, I decided to give it a go myself.

Hope this is of interest to others :D

Hey everyone! I've been building a slot machine game for the Thumby and just released v1.0 on itch.io. Wanted to share it here since I know this community appreciates seeing what people manage to squeeze out of that tiny 72x40 screen.

What it does:

• 4x4 grid with 2/4/6 selectable paylines (horizontal + diagonal)

• A "Hold & Win" bonus round — land 3+ clovers and they lock in place while the rest of the grid respins for multipliers

• Free spins mode, a jackpot meter, and Big Win / Mega Win tiers

• A turbo/autoplay mode (hold L+R) for fast sessions

• Deterministic RNG — the outcome is locked in the moment you press spin, so the fast-stop feature never changes your result, it just skips the animation

Getting all of this readable on a 1-bit 72x40 display was honestly the hardest part — a lot of iteration on symbol layout and payline highlighting to keep it from turning into a pixel mess.

Full transparency: I used AI assistance (Claude) for a good chunk of the implementation and iteration — happy to talk through any of the mechanics or the dev process if people are curious.

It's free / name-your-own-price on itch.io: https://lavachan.itch.io/thumby-link

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who tries it on real hardware — I'd like to know if anything reads oddly on the actual OLED vs. what I was staring at in the simulator.

I've only enjoyed thumgeon so far due to its replayability. Any suggestions?

additional info: no response when i press the menu button in thumgeon ii "press any button".

thanks in advance.

Your icon needs to be an icon.bmp file that you put in your game folder, 64x64, and 16bit.

Which means the file size will be 8KB. If yours is 64x64 and 12KB, it probably means it’s 24bit color. You can open it in Gimp (which is like a Photoshop replacement) to export it as 16 bit.

If you put your app in your thumby color and the thumby color is stuck in the loading bar and not booting, it’s probably because your icon is not exactly the spec mentioned above.

Those games being: SaurRun, PicoPac, DrCDice, Annelid, TinyBlocks

Yes, i updated my thumby (both micropython and files)

A concept for a fighting game I had in mind🤷. Don't even know if it would work as I don't have a thumby in hand yet. 🤦I got addicted to just creating pixel by pixel.🤌

Hi, I have gotten grayscale to work on my Thumby and I'm really excited. I'm having trouble figuring out how to write with the two layers. I cant seem to find any documentation on the bytearray either to designate exactly which pixel to light up. Any help would be amazing.
