So... is there an #instance directory? I think its time to move on from the big one... specially if there's going to be more people moving over.. if anyone has any suggestions I'll add a list of interests below... obviously doesn't have to cover all.. 😁 #retrogaming #linux #chiptunes #electronics #indiegames #pico8 #fantasyconsoles #claysculpting #gundpla #modelkit #opensource #resincasting #8bit #16bit #zxspectrum #amiga #commodore #crtgaming #mechanicalKeyboad #miniatures #minidisc #cassette

Printed the new changes to my tv console that plays games off 3 1/2 inch floppies. I need to get a replacement usb cable, and I plan to do more videos on this project. I might make slight changes to the console where the back is slightly longer so cables don't dangle out and the front so you wont see the metal around the floppy drive.

Hmm... I've taken an interest in these #FantasyConsoles and would like to build a little pi zero based handheld for them... I've seen #pico8 and #tic80.... what others are about and how can I play them? Lol

TOOT TOOT! Last part arrived. Now I can finish another one of my handhelds this week. Uses cartridges and runs Pico 8 games. This will be a completely offline version that uses a Pi Zero V1.3 #pico8 #handheld #retrogaming #fantasyconsoles #raspberrypi

@ajroach42 the #Dutch #school system I followed has a 'BiNaS' (Biology, Natuurkunde (Physics) and Scheikunde (Chemistry) class room and book, and the Algemene NatuurWetenschappen (General Nature Sciences) course/class, which tried to combine some of those aspects at least, but they were also still individual classes, and it mostly felt like an afterthought as there didn't really seem to be much coordination between these classes.

So yeah, I agree with you, so much more can be done with these subjects, and I feel like that students like me would've gotten a lot more out of a set of classes that had more of a focus on exploring concepts around a practical development. More of an applied sciences than a theoretical approach.

There've been several cases in my adult life where I thought: "oh, if they'd shown me I could've applied math/physics/whatever to this real life thing, I might've been more enthusiastic about it and/or grasped the theory better".

#Demoscene #art projects such as #ShaderLanguage competitions (e.g. #ShaderShowdown) or making demos in #FantasyConsoles such as #Pico8 or #TIC80 could be a very motivating way to teach #Math, #geometry, #music, art, art #history, #ComputerScience history and even #physics.

LoveByte Demoparty has a YouTube channel you could check out.

In short a #ByteJam a non-competitive form of a #ByteBattle where sceners create visual effects to accompany the music. Usually this occurs live on stage (or on this case, live from home), and focus on having fun, experimenting and just creating a lovely atmosphere.

#LoveByteDemoparty has a focus on spreading the love for #fantasyConsoles such as #Tic80 and #Pico8, which are consoles that never actually existed, but which are inspired by #retrogaming systems such as #MSX, #C64, #Amiga, #NES, etc.

They provide a creative environment with various limitations, such as amount of colours and ways to draw on screen. These limitations often help to limit the scope of the programme (and thus make it easier to actually finish something rather than get lost in elaborate designs), but more importantly to encourage creative thinking, out-of-the-box solutions and other ways to seemingly overcome these restrictions.

ByteBattles with less of these limitations would for instance be a #ShaderShowdown where they use #GLSL aka #openGL #ShaderLanguage to create these visuals. See for example ShaderToy for examples of what can be done with that.

All of this is part of a larger #demoscene, which might also be interesting to check out. :)

Not sure if I've missed anything, but if I have, maybe @Truck or @Cranksy can add some feedback :)

So I just compiled a #list of #games (logic/puzzle/adventure) where you #program #software or #hardware - including #fantasyconsole (well #fantasyconsoles to be precise).
