Notable Changes

PicoSystem has switched from MicroPython 1.18 to MicroPython 1.19. There are many changes that may or may not affect us, and you can read about them here: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/releases/tag/v1.19

The MicroPython API's Buffer has been updated to support loading a file directly. This makes it much tidier and closer to the C++ API.

We've gone from:

WALLS = Buffer(160, 160)
open("gadgetoid-raycaster.16bpp", "rb").readinto(WALLS)

To the succinct:

WALLS = Buffer(160, 160, "gadgetoid-raycaster.16bpp")

Filename is optional, so the old approach will still work and you can update your code (or not) at your leisure!

That is, uh, pretty much it for now! No sense messing with perfection. 😆
