Everything we did is open source, so you can enjoy poking around if you’re into that sort of thing. We’ve got two GitHub repositories:

Now, let’s talk about this year’s Swadge. Not only does it feature a bright monochromatic OLED screen, but it has 5 incredible games, along with a multitude of modes and secrets. Fight through music-themed demons in our true First-Person Shooter, Shredder. Maybe a shoot ‘em up is more your speed? Take a crack at the high score in M-Type. And while we don’t recommend stepping on your Swadge, you can play our DDR-style silent rhythm game, Stomp. If that weren’t insane enough, test your aviation and collectathon skills in our Gaylord Atrium-inspired Flight Simulator, in full wireframe 3D. Finally, unwind at the end of the day caring for your own personal demons, in Personal Demon, a pet raising simulator where the goal is to keep your adorably-devilish creature from dying a horrible, agonizing death.
Beyond games, we have Colorchord, the ever-popular music-reactive dancing LED experience, a Universal Instrument Tuner (or UIT) capable of tuning any musical instrument, an adjustable Metronome, USB or battery power, multiple screensavers, and more Easter Eggs and features to discover for yourself! Plus, the software is entirely open source.
Oh, and the kick-in version of the Chainsaw Swadge is coated in ACTUAL GOLD.
