“This has inspired my kids to code with me in python. We've just start to get stuck in, getting some graphics going and different game engine types (tile games, board games etc).”
“Very comfortable in hand. Seem sturdy enough to lend it to my small children. I am in the process of porting one of my web game to it.
Very easy to program for it, or, if that's not your thing, to load the few available games on it.”
“Amazing little gizmo. Really well made and feels solid. Need to learn about writing my own games and such for it but the hardware and possibilities are fantastic”
“Simply amazing! The quality of this product is off the charts! The rest is up me, getting my programming skills to a level where I can make a game worthy of the system.”
“Brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant!
This is a lovely little device with a quality aluminium case, nice bright display and quality pad and buttons. I’ve used both MicroPython and C++ (which was much easier to setup than I had expected).
The SDK is in source, so you can see how things are implemented, as well as very usable for starting projects.
Raspberry Pi foundation have great resources too; I never thought that I would be able to learn PIO to drive the screen! Everything seems understandable and learnable. No OS hiding all the glorious details!
It really has made me as excited about programming as when I had a BBC micro as a child.”
