Here's a video to show that you can paste any python code inside a Python project in the SPIKE Prime app. You can download the code here: antonsmindstorms.com/product/spike-prime-swing-monkey-building-instructions-pdf-download

The original code I developed for the Swing Monkey in VS Code works here too. I also made a version of the code with the official API LEGO Python motor commands.
When this Monkey does 360 turns, you need a real fast control loop to keep it going. The performance of the SPIKE Prime hardware is adequate for this if you run it with Python.
