Even a one-timer could be fun! ā€œPokitto Userā€, ā€œPokitto Magazineā€? I could contribute an article if someone volunteers to be the editor :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve never been an editor before, but if nobody else would like to volunteer then Iā€™ll do my best attempt to make the magazine happen :slight_smile:

I like the sound of ā€œPokitto Userā€ and ā€œPokitto Magazineā€ ;D

Some possible articles I was thinking of for a first run:

Community submissions:

  1. Share your Pokitto story. Why you chose Pokitto and a possible photo of your sweet custom color selections.

  2. First Pokitto program and tools to make it.

  3. Tips and Tricks from the pros. A collection of code snippets or guides from the members of the community.

General:

  1. How to get started in Pokitto (set up and basic tutorial)

  2. Hello, team C++! A first program on the Pokitto (cpp)

  3. Hello, team Python! A first program on Pokitto using micro python.

  4. Get to know the Pokitto in depth. A layout of hardware and physical features.

Other?

The possibilities are out there! This could be an awesome project.

Porting games from system X to Pokitto (C++ or Python). This can be e.g. a tutorial, or just a report of most common problems.

Wow! So a speaker, a joystick, a joystick with buttons and rumble. What are the remaining two experiments?

the grey one is just rumble, from an N64 rumble pack, the joystick is actually just a variable resistor, to be used with a pong type game, although the min/max position is only within about 90 degrees, leaving 90 degrees either side being wasted. the one with the white bit is a Wii controller adaptor.

Seems to me like there is definitely material for a great first issue! :smiley:

One thing I realized that would make this great is the visual design. My design skills are sorrowfully lacking, so I wonder if anyone of the fantastic artists in this community would like to propose some artwork :D?

So maybe splitting by category would make more sense.
In no particular order

  1. Software (pokitto related software projects like games or programs, tools used for making them, tutorials)
  2. Hardware (pokitto hardware projects like hats and cases and such. Tutorials for hardware)
  3. Art and design (game art, program art, custom designs foe hardware etcā€¦)
  4. Projects (by submissions?)
  5. Highlights (community events, new/coming games or programs or hardware)
  6. Other (various things in the world of diy tech)

And maybe jokes too!
Here is one: Why C++ coders need glasses?
Because they cannot see sharp :nerd_face:

Slanderous lies, I can program in both C++ and C#. :P
(Though I probably do need glasses.)
