`iBitFit` is the first game compatible with the Playzing entertainment device and gamepad. It is able to run using the KMS video driver and can read gamepad input through the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface. It supports an option to rotate the display, which is necessary for the vertically oriented screen.
From the home directory, run the following commands to download the game and run it.
The Playzing repository has a game launcher in development which is able to display a title logo at boot and launch iBitFit on any key press. From the root of this repository, run the following commands to download iBitFit, then run the launcher.
cd
git clone --recursive https://open.shampoo.ooo/shampoo/ibitfit
./OPEN-GAME --rotate
cd games/
git clone https://open.shampoo.ooo/shampoo/ibitfit
cd ..
./Playzing.py --config ",display,rotated,yes"
Test the game using the left and right buttons on the USB keyboard.

To start the game launcher automatically at system boot, create a file at `/etc/systemd/system/playzing.service` with the following contents. Substitute the correct user name for `[USER]`.

Since it restarts automatically when quit with the usual quit button, there is also `SHIFT + q` to permanently quit and get back to the Raspberry Pi console.
