Nintendo Switch lite - SmileBASIC 4 - CUBE SHOOTER gameplay


Nintendo Switch (Grey)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I decided to mod the SmileBASIC 4 tutorial code again and add in whatever I have tested and learned. I also kinda like the whole game designed. I used the letter X as the ship and the box as the enemy(cube).

I like watching the whole circles and boxes moving at the start of the game. It's like an intro to the game. It looks like some kind of moving art. I can actually add in color or other stuff but for now, prefer the simple white lines.

I also got the idea of letting the player input their name before the start of the game. And, doing a fake ship system check. I actually forgot how to do it at first as I haven't been practicing the code. Which, I actually learned from Python.

The ability to tried out and practice what I've learned in python with SmileBASIC 4 is part of the reason why I like smilebasic so much. Although, my knowledge is not good enough to transfer some python games code to smilebasic.

If you have smilebasic 4, you can actually already download many games and even fun software like the music keyboard, drum pad machine, and even emulators. Not the game emulators but old computers. I don't think Nintendo likes the idea of game emulators on their system.

If you already have a coding technical background, there are many projects you can do or even teach. All software that you created and shared on the server can be downloaded and used by everyone. They can even mod it. It's supposed to be free for people to look at the code and learned from it.

The important this is that, once you have created or mod the code, you can play it on your Nintendo Switch or Switch lite. And, since it's a portable console, you can code while on the go and play it on the go too. I actually mode the Cube Shooter game while slouching on my chair.

I thought of setting my Switch lite with a physical keyboard but too lazy. Anyway, I just have to add or change a few things here and there. Nothing complicated. It's kinda fun and cool being able to do that when you just feel like it.

Of course, I already got the ideas in my head for a while. Some of it didn't work out like trying to add my own art. I don't know how or where to save and use it. But, you make do with what you have. One thing for sure, I definitely learn some more new stuff during this process too.

One to the next project, whatever that is. You can download my game once I have the publish key. I'll update it in this article later on. Also, you can buy and download SmileBASICE 4 here on the eShop.
Great learning tools for kids and adults alike!

What you guys think?

*Update: You can now download the game from the smilebasic 4 server by searching it via this public key: 4W393K3Q4 - Pls like if you like it. Tq!

Nintendo Switch lite - SmileBASIC 4 - FOOD SHOOTER Gameplay


Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The other day, I posted my new game, NOTOHOHO SHOOTER (youtube video)5, code modified from SmileBASIC 4 tutorial. Yesterday, I edited that code again to change the sprites, background, and music. Which is super cool. I rename the game to FOOD SHOOTER!

I used the few lines of new codes that I learned from the last game. Pretty nifty. I forgot to include a demo of touch-paint drawing that you can code and play within the video though. That is also something interesting to play with.

If you already have SmileBASIC 4, you can find and download both of the games from their server by using these two public keys. There's one problem though, I didn't know how the file system work. So, I just save it under the workspace. You'll have to click download before the game name appears. :p

1. NOTOHOHO SHOOTER - 4QAS3R3X3
2. FOOD SHOOTER - 4P33XWEQE

There is also no game icon art. Well, I didn't really care for it, until I realized that's how you're supposed to do it. Blame it on me being a newbie to SmileBASIC. If you do find it, downloaded, and enjoyed the games, pls like and share. Arigato!

The game is of course free and you can even mod the game yourself. Maybe, you can add a BOSS fight or a powerbomb that will clear all the food (enemy) at once. You'll need to add up more new lines of code to make it work.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to make a snake game. I need to make the snake move and when a button is pressed, it'll turn 90 degrees. If it eats a cake or something, it'll grow longer or I was thinking of adding more sprites as friends.

If I can learn to make all these simple games, it'll help me learn to code and later on create a more complex game. If I want to. The fun thing is that, once you're done making the game, you can then play it on your Switch. I actually enjoyed coding and playing my own game.

People will ask you, hey what's that game you're playing? Wouldn't it be cool to say, you're the one who codes it? And, they can even download it from the server for free. Of course, they'll need to buy SmileBASIC 4 to be able to do that.

I love playing quick, small simple games. There are some games that I want to code myself and be able to play on my Nintendo Switch lite. Most of the games are actually the same. The only difference is the graphics. If you're good at the arts, you can draw your own sprites or characters.

One good thing is that, if you can master SmileBASIC 4, you might even be able to code Android, Python, or Pc games. As they're all the same only, the language is different. It's like you know Japanese but now you're in Germany, so you'll have to learn the German language.

You can easily and quickly code on the go or Dock your Nintendo Switch to the TV or monitor. Plugin your favorite keyboard and mouse and you're good to go. Smileboom, even sell their own keyboard and mouse. You can get them from their website. Not sure if it's available worldwide.

So, what you guys think?

Pimoroni Explorer HAT Pro for 40-Pin Raspberry Pi


PIM082 - Explorer HAT Pro for 40-Pin Raspberry Pi

Hey guys,

Pimoroni, Explorer HAT Pro are one of my favorite product to build, play and test with smart robot. I made the video above, last year. A demo of what you can do with the explorer hat pro. Check it out!

It's basically an all in one board for the raspberry pi 3, that you can learn to code the led lightings and motor. Code it using simple python!

There's also a breadboard included on top of the main pimoroni board that you can use for other project. I tried, running a servo using the board and it actually work. But, you need to find the special code. And, sometime it didn't work. So, I used a separated arduino board to move the camera around.

Playing with Raspberry pi 3 and arduino are really fun!

It's great for learning about robotics and coding. I love learning about python and creating my own smart robot. If you have children, you should get it for them. You'll even find it great for adult learning too.

Get your own Raspberry pi or Arduino starter kit:
