⚡️ You can now write games for Firefly Zero in #Zig! Zig is a quirky little language with manual memory management. Safer than C, easier than Rust.

$ firefly_cli new --lang=zig hello-world

Another video from @fosdem featuring TinyGo "WebAssembly-powered game console" about @fireflyzero is available:

Waiting for the Firefly Zero WebAssembly powered handheld game console talk to begin.

I made a quick stop at the Firefly Zero booth to try out the hardware prototype of the console.

New video: a talk from a #golang meetup near Amsterdam. Recorded on 2025-01-16. It covers #WebAssembly, @TinyGo, @mechanoid, @fireflyzero, and a few other cool projects I worked on in 2024.

It looks like I’m going to Fosdem this year! I’ll mostly hang out in Rust room and the WebAssembly room. Hopefully I get to check out the Firefly Zero stand as well.

I haven’t updated my platformer game today, but I did try it using a controller. But here are screenshots from the latest versions of the levels and title screen.

Title screen of the game. It’s a large purple ampersand surrounded by four stylized stars. Below is the text “Blutti” in large red letters.

First level of the game. A blue background with some small clouds, ledges with green grass on top.

Second level. Dark background with stone walls, dangerous lava and spikes, with some torches and chains.

Third level. Brown ledges with snow on top. Dark blue background. Snow is falling slowly down the screen. Icicles are hanging down from the ledges. There are snowmen, small pine trees and icy ground tiles.

I just released v0.6 of my platformer game Blutti for the Firefly Zero.

It mostly includes animations and particle effects, which will hopefully make the game feel a bit more dynamic than the old static sprites.

My retro 8-bit platformer Blutti for the (upcoming) Firefly Zero handheld console now has a fifth level. This time it's a sci fi/metal/industrial theme.

My little 8-bit platformer game Blutti for the Firefly Zero handheld console now has a fourth level, with a desert theme. The game now has four playable levels.

To play the game you need to install the Firefly Zero emulator.

An image with screenshots from an 8-bit game. In the middle there is a large text with the title "Blutti". The image behind the title is split into four diagonal sections, each from a different level in the game. The levels are themed with desert, winter, dungeon and forest.

I've released v0.3 of Blutti, my game for the Firefly Zero handheld game console. It now has a snow level, title screen, cheat codes, decoration tiles, more badges and deadly lava and water.

I've built a very simple platformer for the Firefly Zero handheld console. It only has two levels at the moment.

It's built in Rust and compiled to WASM. The code is available here: https://github.com/ollej/firefly-blutti

I'll be speaking at #FOSDEM in #WebAssembly room about @fireflyzero! Come to see some lots of cool hardware, like WebAssembly on microcontrollers, the first WebAssembly-powered game console, and WebAssembly running on the smallest game console in the world.
