Off topic but some repetitive code could be eliminated...

    def make_arrow(image_name: str, position) -> SpriteNode:
        sprite_node = SpriteNode(image_name)
        sprite_node.x_scale = 3.5/1.0
        sprite_node.y_scale = 3.5/1.0
        sprite_node.alpha = 0.5
        sprite_node.position = position
        self.add_child(sprite_node)
        return sprite_node

and then...

        self.UpCrtl = self.make_arrow('iow:arrow_up_b_32', (175, 295))
        self.DownCrtl = self.make_arrow('iow:arrow_down_b_32', (175, 130))
        self.RightCrtl = self.make_arrow('iow:arrow_right_b_32', (250, 212.5))
        self.LeftCrtl = self.make_arrow('iow:arrow_left_b_32', (100, 212.5))

As usual, Python has nice batteries included...

I woulda said that solid state disk (SDD/flash) != RAM but perhaps someone could correct me.

https://omz-software.com/pythonista/docs/ios/console.html says that console.open_in() takes a file_path.

TL;DR:

1. If you open() a file then you should close() it or even better, use with open as which will autoclose the file.
2. Opening files in r+ mode is complicated.

c = {"hi": 0, "hello": 0}
d = {"hi": 1, "hello": 1}
# print(c | d)  # Pythonista's version of Python is too old
c.update(d)
print(c)

SQLite should work as it does on other Python implementations

f.write(str(tot)+'='+str(date.today()))

f.write(f"{tot}={date.today()}")  # faster, shorter, easier to read
