We've got the first scam targeting Firefly Zero users :tada: Someone generated AI slop Github repository with links to malware. The description is based on Through the Gate game for Firefly Zero. Or should I say "Quantum Gateways"?

New language! You can now write Firefly Zero games in Odin, a Go-like language with manual memory management. Give it a try with the latest firefly-cli:

ff new --lang=odin hello

New release! We bring the UX to another level with a bunch of new system apps: app installation over internet, viewers for scores and achievements, and on-device game manuals.

Thanks to Nanobot567, we now have an official virtual QWERTY keyboard for #Rust apps:

It's very ergonomic and it will be integrated in some of the upcoming system apps.

If you want to print a 3D model of the prototypes we had at FOSDEM, we've tagged and compiled the right version:

The model includes not only the case but also stubs for the components, so you can print a model of the whole thing.

Another amazing thing seen in the tinygo dinner. The @fireflyzerocom video console. Open source, web assembly, tinygo... Even multiplayer with another console. Very cool. 🙂

Final day of Firefly Jam 🚨

Even a small, unfinished game is worth submitting.
Progress beats perfection, especially in game jams where you have thematic and time constraints

We can't wait to see where you are, what you create
Perks/merchs are already in the house

[Firefly Zero @fireflyzerocom]

The first day of the #jam is dope

Jam tip #1
Keep it SMALL.
One mechanic.
One level.
One idea.

We're live till tomorrow 11:59 PM UTC, and you can still join us
