News this week on the Pi World
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 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, 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 system for ARM devices that you can visit on GitHub. As a curiosity, they've used a Raspberry Pi emulator called PiEmu with the source code available too. If you are left wanting more, here you can find a video of a Tetris multiplayer programed with about 4000 code lines in pure assembly code | github.com > 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) (part two)
