# PYOA for PyGamer/PyBadge - Adding Cursor Support to CircuitPython

## Overview

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/077/537/medium800thumb/lcds___displays_ezgif.com-gif-maker_%281%29.jpg?1561585569)

_Want to control your CircuitPython game with your PyGamer's Joystick? Click buttons on the display using the buttons on your PyGamer/PyBadge?_

We've created a **Cursor** module for **CircuitPython**. This module provides an **interactive mouse cursor to add to your game or interface.**

In this guide, **you'll learn how to add a cursor to your CircuitPython device's display and control it with your PyBadge or PyGamer**.

Then, we added cursor support to the **Python Choose your Own Adventure gaming framework (PYOA)** so you can play choose-your-own-adventure games on your PyBadge/PyGamer.
