If you're into Pico-8, make sure you check out the latest issue of Pico-View for some tips and highlights. It's a great read! Check out the past issues as well!

I was invited to create the cover for the latest issue. Here's a time lapse of my process.

OMG this is great. The "Electronics" section of the freely-downloadable BBC sound effects collection is _amazing_, and if want new ringtones or alerts sounds for anything this is a gold mine:

Building a new product hasn't been easy. Here's a deep dive into everything I've learnt along the way to building GlowStitch, machine sewable LED strips. It's all the stuff I wish I'd known at the start of this journey. Enjoy! hackaday.io/project/186907-glo

Sneak peek at @micktwomey & I testing the prototype kit for the upcoming ALT.CTRL.GameCraft event at #BetaFestival (Sat Nov 4) held at The Digital Hub.

youtube.com/watch?v=kynYjUCPVv

Mick custom designed the PCB and only got our hands on it earlier this week to test.

Folks can keep the kits (which includes a #RaspberryPi #Pico, PCB board & buttons) after the event.

And no experience or coding required. 🥰

🎟️ Free but you need to register: gamecraft.it/events/altctrljam
