A new physical kill counter designed for Counter-Strike 2 offers gamers a way to track their performance without modifying the game. Created by a user known as Creative-Steak-8599 on the Raspberry Pi Pico subreddit, the device utilizes a Pimoroni Galactic Unicorn to update kill tallies in real-time, enhancing the gaming experience.
The innovative system operates through Valve's Game State Integration, sending kill data to a Python program that communicates with the display. Notably, this method avoids any hacks or memory manipulation, ensuring a seamless integration with the game.
Highlighted features of the kill counter include an instant live kill count, a celebratory animation for MVPs, and an interactive lobby with an AK-47 spray animation. Detailed instructions and code are available on GitHub for those interested in building their own version of this gaming accessory.
