@GeekDadGamer Maybe some of the hosts of @TheRetroAsylum or the @retrohouruk ?

Looking to commission some video game experts with a breadth of knowledge of great games (beyond the usual) suggestions for a project. Maybe that's you? Maybe someone on here you could suggest?

@TigWilliams The cool kids are already there 😉

X users jumping to blue sky…. How about my #edutwitter colleagues? Is it time to go? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The classic video game “The Oregon Trail” is being made into an action comedy film! theregister.com/AMP/2024/11/02… Crazy days! #retrogames @retrohouruk @TheRetroAsylum

@RetroGamer_Mag PacMan is always fun. Bubble Bobble and Donkey Kong Country for great couch co-op.

Which classic retro game is the perfect one to introduce to kids and why? Some answers will appear in the magazine.

I’ve been fortunate to attend and present at plenty of conferences, but this is my first time having a poster at a proper researchy event! It has been great to discuss my @KingsECS study and the #UKICER attendees have been extremely supportive 😀

Financially things are looking as bleak as they can be for me right now. I have about 2 months of income left. I’m going to throw everything I have left at survival and if I can’t turn things around in time at least I’ll go out with a bang! Wish me luck!

This looks like a great programme for Y11-Y13 girls interested in artificial intelligence - do share if you know any computer science teachers who might be interested.

I was today years old when I learnt at the @scratch conference that importing an animated gif into #scratch creates a sprite where each frame of the animation is a separate costume! Pretty cool 🤓 #caschat #csk8

Thanks for sharing this photo @DigSchoolhouse Always good to be captured in full flow!

@rcoultart @Baggiepr @duck_star @EatSleepICTRpt @TsuiAllen Glad you sorted it. Occasionally I get a knackered board, but batteries are usually the cause of weird behaviour!

@computingchamps @Baggiepr @duck_star @EatSleepICTRpt @TsuiAllen 🤯 and 🫣 thought I’d try a third set of batteries and what do you know… they worked!!

Help! Need of serious debugging help with Crumbles… sparkles only ever showing red, whatever colour they’re programmed to and, worse, program won’t run unless Crumble attached to PC & ‘play’ button pressed! What am I doing wrong? @Baggiepr @duck_star @EatSleepICTRpt @TsuiAllen

The post school excitement scream for the new @hurrahforgin #lottiebrooks book was far too loud! 🤩

We're excited to introduce Scratch Ecosystem Leaders: a group of SEC members working with the Scratch Foundation to spread localized approaches to creative learning in diverse geographic regions worldwide! Learn more: medium.com/scratchteam-bl…

@teknoteacher Saw you an hour or so ago zooming up to Westminster 🚴🏼

Travelling to #casconf by bike-train-bike. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Great to be able to deliver a @CompAtSch #CASConf2024 session in London @AdaCollege today after an amazing 10 days away! Time for a rest and then back to the @crestem_kcl research on Monday 😀 Everyone in the photo is meant to have their heads down playing video games btw!

@TigWilliams He’s awesome and has done some great builds!

Man's hobby converting old consoles becomes career. One for you after the phd ⁦@computingchamps⁩ ?? bbc.com/news/articles/…

At the @scaricomp report launch this afternoon @KingsCollegeLon Not seen this many people from the Computing education world in the same room in a long time! #scaricomputing Lots to consider for the future of the subject… #caschat

Found a new #AI tech to play with thanks to @phntmLDN #footboo personal retro football sticker generator foot.boo Some beautiful images generated…. ⚽️

Great to have delivered a session @DigSchoolhouse Playful Computing Conference today. Awesome group and lots of discussions about my @crestem_kcl research around why (and why not!) to use video games to support primary pupils’ learning of programming concepts #caschat #csk8
