Summary
Jeremy Ngai Sew Poh has developed InkQuest, a unique text adventure game for e-paper handheld devices that generates dynamic stories using Google’s Gemini. Unlike static displays commonly used in e-paper projects, InkQuest offers an interactive experience by allowing players to make choices that shape the narrative. The project features an ESP32, an e-paper screen, and a rotary encoder for gameplay. It is open-source, with designs available on GitHub.
