Firefly Zero

Hello World! Firefly Zero is an in-development handheld game console that runs #wasm and supports #BLE multiplayer. It is written in #Rust, runs on #ESP32, and will be fully open source. Sounds fun? Stay tuned! fireflyzero.com #gamedev

Thanks to Nanobot567, we now have an official virtual QWERTY keyboard for #Rust apps: github.com/firefly-zero/f… It's very ergonomic and it will be integrated in some of the upcoming system apps.

If you want to print a 3D model of the prototypes we had at FOSDEM, we've tagged and compiled the right version: github.com/firefly-zero/f… The model includes not only the case but also stubs for the components, so you can print a model of the whole thing.

New release! Settings! Languages! Translations! Color schemes! New apps! New image format! AAAA!!! github.com/firefly-zero/f…

New blog post: Why we're staying on Discord. blog.fireflyzero.com/pages/discord/ It's a story of painful digging through Discord alternatives all of which suck in their own unique way. Enjoy. #Discord #LeaveDiscord #Zulip #Matrix #Mastodon #IRC
