Hello, my pc is unable to run a vm locally due to lack of storage space, and I was wondering if there was a way to run a VM through alternative means? I've heard of onworks.net but it is a bit laggy and cant run the things im looking for (plus it looks a bit sketchy). I was wondering if there was a way to host a virtual machine through cloud or if there was some serivce I could use to run it remotely? If not, is... Source: over 3 years ago

The game dev environment they’re talking about is MakeCode Arcade. I’m also a big fan of it. There are a number of little handheld gadgets that you can use with MakeCode—scroll down on the homepage and there’s a section that shows them all: https://arcade.makecode.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I recently installed Ubuntu on a little Geekom mini PC for my 6 and 8 year olds to share.

Alternatively, get her an emulator of an old 8 or 16 bit system, I started coding at the age of 10 in these systems, with books that were oriented for kids. https://www.atariarchives.org/ http://redparsley.blogspot.com/2016/08/input-magazine-retrospective.html https://archive.org/details/input-hi-01 Or if you prefer something more up to date, https://arcade.makecode.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

I'm not sure how this reduces the barrier to game developement. There are already lots of free assets and game engines designed for making arcade games that are a lot easier then say Unity or Unreal. Like https://arcade.makecode.com/ or https://microstudio.dev/ or https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
