It's been a while since I played with the OLED display so let me try and remember! What is the error message you're getting? I'm guessing the problem is caused by missing libraries, so here are a few things to try: First download and flash the whole crossy_ducker2.hex file if you haven't done so already in order to check the hardware. Next, you can drag that HEX file into the online Python editor at https://python.microbit.org/ and view it that way. Then click on the <b>load/save</b> icon and you should see listed under 'project files' 5 Python files, the main program and 4 library files that contain various drivers for the display: crossy_ducker2 (main.py) ssd1306.py ssd1306_stamp.py ssd1306_img.py ssd1306_text.py Hope that helps! Let me know how you get on. Hi Don – glad you like this and I’m delighted you’re teaching with the micro:bit!

I'm teaching middle school students how to use the microbit, and I'd love to do this with them, but I can't figure out how to get the libraries from GitHub to the Micro:Bit Python editor and/or onto the Micro:Bit. I just get an error message flashing when I try to copy your code to the python editor and flash the Micro:Bit. Any advice? This is fantastic.

I don't know why your ghost is, er, ghosting, but I am going to have a play with your code. It would be cool if we could create some more little micro:bit games for OLED displays, they're relatively inexpensive and very easy to connect if you have a breakout board. best wishes Giles Hi Christy – that’s awesome!

I tried to make it more complicated by making the ghost move faster. The result was a trailing ghost : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3bnkqbmJaM&feature=emb_title# http://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/ccdigifab/2020/03/15/embedded-programming-mircobit-oled-game/ Is this what you were referring to when you mention "it’s running as fast as it can"? Thanks - Christy Hi, I followed your tutorial and got the game to work. I tried to make it more complicated by making the ghost move faster.
