Another great item from the redoubtable @JennyList. What we call "microcontrollers" today easily emulate what we called "workstations" ... ahem ... yesterday.

To hell with Doom, this would run #Emacs!

My friend @spinningmind and I have started meeting up once a month to learn and jam on little #pico8 games. Last month I got animation and basic collisions working. Today it was fancy slippy corner collisions and dashing.

Want to eliminate the clicks and pops from #RaspberryPi #Pico audio? Here's a lesson I created for my students that shows how to use a simple Digital to Analog Converter (as low as $3.95, with audio-jack included) to vastly improve Pico sound. Wiring & CircuitPython code demoed. Works with @Adafruit PCM5100 and PCM5102 https://youtu.be/776nkK9-3Ko

Writing up my Tiny Opensource (released soon!) Underwater Vehicle (TOUV1) project for future @rpimag. Using a #Pico to control speed and direction of the thrusters. Today is "use a very secondhand inflatable hot tub as a test environment"! #making #cute #rov #opensource #3dprinting #freecad

SNS-GESTURE is hand gesture recognizing module with I2C interface which easily can be interfaced to Arduino, PICO or ESP32 with MicroPython https://olimex.wordpress.com/2025/06/16/sns-gesture-is-i2c-hand-gesture-recognizer-module-which-you-can-easily-interface-to-your-next-arduino-or-micropython-project/ #esp32 #pico #arduino #gesture #regonize #i2c #module
This module will help you to add fancy interface to your next project and to navigate without keyboard and mouse.

I never imagined that drawing antialiased circles could be so difficult. Another 4 hours debugging and I’m getting there. Just drawing the antialiased edge pixels here to test. #presto #pimoroni #coding #pico

Hey fedi #gamedev folks - I'm looking for a framework that will make it fun to write some retro inspired games.

Something like #pico-8 without the restrictions.

I've been looking for something like that for a while (here's some old research: https://fdisk.quest/dreamengine/), but nothing quite fits the bill. Recently I got the urge to try to finish a silly roguelike I started like 3 times already.

I don't want to learn a full engine, and I'm not smart enough to tackle much outside modern, high-level languages, but I would like to be able to do some fun raster effects down the line.

Any recommendations?

References I managed to work into my #Pico (“Little bugs in a big world!”) game:
- Spider-Man (sure)
- Jiminy Cricket (clever)
- Beetle Bailey (haha, old man humor)
- Toy Story (Jiminy Cricket had a little wooden toy with a drawstring: "Reach for the sky”)
- Avatar: The Last Airbender (Everything changed when the Fire Ant Nation attacked…)
- Lord of the Rings (a water strider named Aragorn, natch)
- Santa Claus (town mayor is a jolly ol' king Christmas beetle)
