History into programming

  x April 16, 2022 That was the vision for Analytical Engine devised by British inventor Charles Babbage in 1837. He is credited with the machine invention. https://www.theengineer.info/2025/01/if-you-want-to-move-away-from-windows.html It was possible his mate Ada Lovelace who best could understand potential that computers would do in the future. She was the daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron Lovelace was gifted Mathematician and intellectual who have the skills to be able to translate a Italian article about Analytical Engine and supplement it with his own notes on the machine possible capabilities. Where the lady managed to explain clearly the Babbage had been able to do where the Algorithm is explained and normally thought as the first ever computer program. Lovelance sadly past away early into the friendship with Mr Babbage and the Analytical was never ever build except for the pages of the Thrilling Adventures

Gaming on a Pi with a mouse for game Shattered Pixel Dungon

  The style is very much 1990s style of dungeon games but with a bit of better looks here, I would guess it's like 8 bit one here maybe bit higher bit here. You will see  before the proper game a very high-quality background that does show you how much graphics the Pi can support gameplay wise. The gameplay will change all the time which is kind of cool you start of as a knight which means you have just the basic attacks but being mage gives you a lot of quality range attacks which are very good for taking down far away enemys which is very useful and a good way to not lose as much health.

RPG style from the 1990s looks great and the monsters such as the snakes or other ones look good you will find through the gameplay a lot of items to collect which is pretty cool such as w...

Thought on Xsnow for a Raspberry Pi

  Stops your Pi  going into sleep mode or ending up shutting down and does look pretty with snow or over effects going and down notes drain the strength of the computer to much which is pretty cool. Installing it's very simple to put into the Terminal area"Xsnow" it should get installed pretty quick then when you click it in the game area it should load instant and you can change the setting if you ever feel it's draining to much strength from your CPU1 to 4 and it could be used as a distraction if you ever need it for reason .  Reminds me strongly of like the cool flash games of the past giving it a very strong 1990 style look to it all such as from the Amiga sort of time period    https://www.theengineer.info/2024/10/raspberry-pi-coding-examples.html
