Thumby / Re: Thumby color trouble.

I actually don't know how to code but I do know if you want your Thumby to connect you'll want a usb Data cable. BTW I use this all on a school Chromebook

General Discussion / Re: Images on games

Last post by carscholar - May 06, 2026, 03:00:00 AM

Does anybody know how to put an image on your Thumby Color game, so it shows up on the home screen, rather than a ? Pls help, I have been trying 4 a week to get an image on my game.

Make sure your game folder contains a properly formatted icon file, usually named icon.bmp or icon.pbm depending on the Thumby Color requirements. The image must match the correct resolution and color format, or the system will only show a ? icon.
Also check that the icon file is placed in the same directory as the game's main file and that the filenames are exactly correct, including capitalization. A lot of people fix this issue just by converting the image to the proper format and renaming it correctly.

I had that issue but you can fix it by installing the OG Thumby compatibility layer first. https://color.thumby.us/FAQ/

Thumby / Re: How do import games?

You need to change the file type on your computer. Your file doesn't have the .py tag, just add .py at the end. So change (Your file name here) to (Your file name here).py. Good luck with your game!

Thumby / Thumby color trouble.

Last post by Iknowhowtocode - April 27, 2026, 11:25:17 AM

I have been struggling to code with the Thumby Color recently. I started by using the sprites and 2d nodes, but after I learned how to do that I wasn't able to figure out drawing pixels or lines on the screen. I also Can't figure out a way to make a audio file compatible with the Thumby. The closest I have gotten to working audio just plays static instead of the audio file. Can anyone help me figure this stuff out?

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Tiny TV Remote

Last post by mcye86d5m@mozmail.com - April 26, 2026, 10:35:17 PM

I all! First post here. I've had the Tiny Tv for well over a year. When I bought it the remote died at about 11 months or so. So I went ahead,and bought the remote
with the enclosure. It worked fine for a few months, and the battery died. Had another CR1220 laying around replaced it at about 2.925 volts, and nothing.Plus side up, does nothing. Any suggestions would be great. Tv works fine. This would be the second remote that failed.

That's a really creative little project. I always enjoy seeing what people build with compact hardware because there's so much innovation in these communities.
