# Tile-Matching Game on the Fruit Jam and Metro RP2350 ## Overview ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/137/346/medium800/gaming_main.jpg?1749079139) This project demonstrates how to run a [tile-matching game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tile-matching_video_game) on the Metro RP2350 using the mouse attached through its USB host pins. It includes controls such as an event button to perform a reset. This is a take on tile-matching games such as [Candy Crush Saga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_Crush_Saga) and [Bejeweled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bejeweled_(video_game)) using some of your favorite Adafruit characters such as Blinka, Hans, and Cappy. It demonstrates some animation techniques that take advantage of CircuitPython's displayio graphics system. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/137/347/medium800thumb/gaming_ExamplePlaying-ezgif.com-optimize.jpg?1749079416) The game is displayed on any HDMI compatible display using the HSTX ribbon connector on the Metro RP2350 and a DVI breakout. ## Parts This project can be done with either the Fruit Jam or the Metro RP2350.
