Pokitto Software Pokitto Simulator
1

Hey! So I’ve always wanted to learn c++. I’ve been writing in Lua for about a year now and want to mix things up. I’d stay the one thing that held me back from learning c++ was an actual tool or gadget like you have with pokitto to modivate me.

I was amazed when I first saw the pokitto, and it is such a cool idea. I love the different graphics modes and similar devices like the arduboy didn’t interest me with the lack of color ect…

Basically, I’m asking for you to cosider making a linux version for the simulator as a big priority right now so we can dig in :slight_smile:

Awesome. I realized the simulator it’s self wasn’t cross-platform after trying to build the hello world example and it kept failing with no idea why :stuck_out_tongue:

Linux is now compiling. Does not run correctly yet. Investigating.

Progress though! Your work is appreciated.

Segmentation fault with sound. Continuing investigation.

Success!! Runs now (with sound disabled. I need to find the cause of the segmentation fault)
