This week has been quite active on the blog and on Friday I stay on top, so the section is full of news today. The most anticipated: the sale of the *Raspberry Pi modular version* for large and small projects. But that's not all...

I wanted to remember that this week [PiKISS](https://github.com/jmcerrejon/PiKISS) has received some updates and added some new scripts: *check_lastmod_img, minidlna, Epiphany Web Browser, crispy-doom, Quake 2, MAME4ALL, Gameboy Advance & PCEngine.*

PiFox

**PiFox, tribute to Star Fox:** Earlier this week we saw proof of concept created by the *Imperial College London*. An independent game with 5800 lines of code with a [Bare Metal](http://www.techopedia.com/definition/16810/bare-metal-environment) system for ARM devices that you can visit on GitHub. As a curiosity, they've used a [Raspberry Pi emulator](https://github.com/ICTeam28/PiEmu) called *PiEmu* with the source code available too. If you are left wanting more, [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTqKRdcKZ9k) you can find a video of a *Tetris multiplayer* programed with about 4000 code lines in pure assembly code | [github.com > PiFox](https://github.com/ICTeam28/PiFox)
**Build Space Invaders with Python:** In only 300 lines you can create this arcade classic if you like. It is a good start for those who want to learn programming or how to develop a video game | [linuxuser.co.uk > Create Space Invaders on Raspberry Pi (part one) ](http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/create-space-invaders-on-raspberry-pi-part-one) [(part two)](http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/create-space-invaders-on-raspberry-pi-part-two)

**NOOBS is updated and with it, all official distributions for Raspberry Pi:** Great news for those who likes change their operating system often. This week we have renew with almost all distributions from the official website, including *NOOBS* | [raspberrypi.org > Downloads](http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)

**Compute Module Development Kit on the sale:** Created to develop embedded projects or applications, this new *Raspberry Pi* simplifies the design process through a modular system to provide the necessary power to your ideas. Now you can buy at stores like [element14](http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-67398?ICID=picompute-module-learn) for about **158€** (£126.68).
