I’ve been playing around with the Xbox controller support in Pybricks recently — it does work really well for direct control once you get the pairing going, you don’t need an app in between anymore and you can actually get smooth analog control on models like cranes or trucks.

Awesome stuff! Been ages since I messed with the Rock Raiders PC game and trying to track down anything like the original manual is such a nostalgia trip. The official game did have a proper instruction manual back in the day that covered controls, buildings, units, and how base/resource management worked, but it’s pretty rare to find scans of it online nowadays unless someone archived it somewhere like the Internet Archive or old manual sites.

I still think this is such a cool concept! The way you captured those early‑CGI vibes from the Money for Nothing video is wild, and the characters really read well in brick form. Was bummed that it didn’t fit the 80s TV/Movie theme at first, but glad it got into the general Ideas pool - that’s the place for creative stuff like this. Definitely brings back memories of watching MTV way too much as a kid.

I love the idea of using character bases to track threat levels, it adds a cool layer of strategy. Also, Bat-Mite being unpredictable is a fun touch—he could definitely cause some chaos in a game!
