Adafruit Weekly Editorial Round-Up: Pool Noodle Mace, GameBoy cart hacking & Demofruit: Demoscene for Fruit Jam

Per Adafruit's latest weekly roundup, the team is showcasing several projects and learn guides this week. The standout is Demofruit, which ports six classic demoscene effects from the nineteen eighties and nineties to the Fruit Jam, an RP2350-based microcontroller board. The visual effects—including a starfield, plasma animations, and a raytraced chrome sphere—were ported to Arduino using Claude Opus four point eight. Adafruit also published a deep dive on GameBoy cart hacking, exploring their CircuitPython-powered gameboy cartridge in a new YouTube video. The week's featured community 3D print is a pool noodle mace.
