Version 0.1.1

Notable Changes

Added all of the SDK blend modes into MicroPython: COPY, ALPHA, MASK, PEN, DARKEN, LIGHTEN, ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DISSOLVE. Enjoy!

Add HFLIP and VFLIP flags to sprite and blit.

To flip a sprite you need to specify all eight arguments, eg:

sprite(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 8, 8, HFLIP | VFLIP)

The above blits a single sprite, 0, in the top-left corner.

The PicoSystem MicroPython release has been configured to apply a 1.20v overvolt. This should make the 250MHz overclock more stable on marginal RP2040s.
