Examples to Add

[FoamyGuy]

I have a list of examples that I'd like to get added floating around in my mind so I'm going to get them written down here.

I will eventually get to adding all of these. But if anyone else comes along and see's something they think they could tackle please feel free to send a PR.

Also I'm sure my list is not comprehensive so if you have ideas for things that would make other good examples please feel free to follow up with a comment adding some more.

• vectorio examples
  • Circle
  • Rectangle
  • Polygon
  • Changing size and shape
  • Changing position
• Tilegrid examples
  • basic animations (similar to Party Parrot projects in learn)
  • different icon states (i.e. battery with a few different fill levels)
  • Using a small spritesheet to create a larger frame visual on the display
• storage
  • boot.py to make storage writable (ideally tied to a pin state so it can be changed externally at boot time)
  • read from a file
  • write to a file
  • using JSON for data storage
  • using JSON for config file to alter code.py behavior
• msgpack
  • pack arbitrary python objects into bytes
  • unpack back into python objects.
• alarms / sleep
  • sleep for certain amount of time
  • sleep until pin state changes
• bitmaptools
  • rotozoom
  • fill_region
  • alpha_blend
  • boundary_fill
  • draw_line
  • arryblit
  • read_into
  • dither
• aesio
  • encrypt_into
  • decrypt_into

I just submitted a PR with a simple terminalio example. An expanded example would show how to use VT100 escape codes.

We have "tests" for native modules here too: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/tree/main/tests/circuitpython-manual
