How does the skill handle hardware button inputs?

It uses the 'badgeware.io' module which automatically handles debouncing. You can check button states like 'pressed', 'released', 'held', or 'changed' within the main update loop.

Can I draw complex graphics and text?

Yes, the skill leverages the badgeware API which supports 160x120 drawing (pixel-doubled to 320x240), including shapes, rotations via matrices, anti-aliasing, and over 30 built-in pixel fonts.

How is app state saved between reboots?

Data is typically stored in the '/storage/' directory using standard Python file operations or the 'json' module, ensuring settings or high scores persist even when the badge is powered off.

What is the standard directory structure for these apps?

MonaOS apps must be placed in '/system/apps/your_app_name/'. This directory requires an '__init__.py' file as the entry point and an 'icon.png' (24x24) for the system menu.
