Plus, the cutest game of Snake you’ll ever see.
Wow, where did November go? It feels like we’ve only just cleared away the Halloween stuff and we’re already looking at December starting next week. In the tech news sphere, it’s that time of year when businesses pull down the shutters and go into a holiday-induced hibernation before it all pops off again in 2025 with January’s CES. However, that didn’t mean we saw a shortage of cool stuff to report on, so here are the top five news pieces from the past week.5 Someone used the Raspberry Pi 2040 to make the cutest game of Snake ever Eating the tiniest dots
Last month, we spotted a board called the Nova going into the crowdfunding phase. The Nova is a really simple piece of kit; it’s an RP2040 board that has a 7×10 LED grid on it. You can use that grid for pretty much anything you want, just as long as it can squeeze down into that teeny-tiny space. Well, it’s far too small to run Doom on it, but we can at least run Snake on it instead, as proven by this cool project that brings the gaming classic onto the tiny board. And the best bit is, the creator listed all of the instructions and code required, so you can make your own.
