“The device feels solid and well made. The buttons and D-Pad have good action and work well. The screen is bright and sharp but very small, I can play games on it but I have difficulty reading text in high res mode, it's probably better for younger eyes.
I had problems with the Python setup designed for the PicoSystem but I can use the circuit python modified for it. I'm currently using the C++ SDK on a Raspberry Pi 4 to create a game. This is easy to use. I'm a C programmer and I'm trying to get into C++ but you don't need to use any of the OO stuff to call the API. You could just write everything in C even though you are using a C++ compiler. The API is easy to use and it includes everything you need to write games on the device.”
“This has inspired my kids to code with me in python. We've just start to get stuck in, getting some graphics going and different game engine types (tile games, board games etc).”
“Very comfortable in hand. Seem sturdy enough to lend it to my small children. I am in the process of porting one of my web game to it.
Very easy to program for it, or, if that's not your thing, to load the few available games on it.”
“Amazing little gizmo. Really well made and feels solid. Need to learn about writing my own games and such for it but the hardware and possibilities are fantastic”
“Simply amazing! The quality of this product is off the charts! The rest is up me, getting my programming skills to a level where I can make a game worthy of the system.”
