A DIY, pocket-sized digital compaion project. Build your own sprite, keep it alive, and customize its hardware.
The StaticSprite is designed in two tiers to accommodate different skill levels and tool access.
| Tier | Build Style | Features | Skill Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Solderless | Core functionality, basic sprite interaction | Beginner / No tools required |
| Tier 2 | Soldered | Core functionality + LED lighting arrays | Intermediate / Soldering iron required |
