• A 15 pound computer to inspire young programmers (2011)

  [Disclaimer: I work at the BBC.] ...later on, the BBC made[0] the micro:bit[1], another £15 (well, around £15 back then for the V1) computer to inspire young programmers. Funny to think that little did the BBC know that they'd be creating their own cheap computer. [0]: Well, the BBC didn't _make_ it exactly — rather, the development and manufacturing was subcontracted to third-party companies (though some people... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://microbit.org/ are really good in my experience too, maybe a little bit dated now and they seem to have lost momentum, but they're super cheap and providing something physical that you can actually code is pretty exciting to a lot of kids. Source: 11 months ago

• google developed course on Rust

  Comprehensive Rust 🦀: Bare-Metal: a 1-day class on how to use Rust for bare-metal development. You will learn what no_std is and see how you can write firmware for microcontrollers (a micro:bit) and well as how to write drivers for a more powerful application processor (using Qemu).

• Sony backs Raspberry Pi with fresh funding, access to A.I. chips

  Kids in the UK (and elsewhere?) can access the Micro:bit computer[0], while not the same and powerful/extendable as R Pi - it is cheap, good and plenty available. It includes a LED display and motion sensor. Kids can program it using "block coding", or write Python code that runs with the help of MicroPython[1].

• Can you use a real computer to replace a Raspberry Pi?

  You might look at the BBC micro:bit board that was designed to teach programmaing for school-age students, and has a large tutorial system and hardware add-ons built around it. As with the Raspberry Pi, the board alone is out of stock in most places, but you can buy a mini "kit" for a few dollars more, for example at parallax in the usa for $20, in stock. When you see a jumble of parts for sale "for the pi" or... Source: over 1 year ago

• Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming

  It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community. Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects And https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-alternative-game-engines-a-curation- If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• I'm a Solo Dev with "all the wrong hats"

  If you’re down for a 2D project checkout GDevelop. It’s designed with a visual workflow in mind and programs with predefined actions and triggers, so if you’re comfortable laying out 2D assets if very easy to make them interactive, without knowing any code. Source: 11 months ago
