Fixed rollCheck() function to check for additional four tile cases. See GitHub link to get updated code.

Great job! Very polished design. I like the button input. I have not used a larger color display on the Pico. I know on Arduino they were a pain then add touch screen detection on top and most of your code was input / output. I know you probably got the display a while back. Are you still buying direct from Pimoroni? I have been getting my Raspberry Pi and Pimoroni related stuff from PiShop US. They are located in Newcastle DE and the shipping times are usually quick. Being so close I had hoped they had a retail showroom but no luck. It is just a warehouse. Thanks for the video series.

Thanks for your feedback. I plan to update the code today to add the other options to the rollCheck function. Using a display for a game like this definitely adds a lot of code associated with getting input and then updating the display. It was fun to see how to make it work. I buy from PiShop when they have the items I want. PiShop doesn't carry all of the Pimoroni products and they seem get new items a month or so after launch. The cost of shipping between the two is not much different. I have had great service from Pimoroni when there has been an issue with order and they tend to have more sales on their products. I haven't had to test PiShop's customer service yet. I agree you do get items very quickly from PiShop. I can also pick up some items from my local MicroCenter - sometimes it is just fun to shop in a real store! Thanks for watching!
