Finally, a working xsnow for Gnome, KDE, etc. Based on the original xsnow-1.42 created by Rick Jansen, after the xsnow-2019 conference in Antas (Spain) we now have available a xsnow that works on many desktop environments, even Raspian. By request of many beta-testers, a graphical front end has been created as well.
For non-Unix users, there is https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsnow .
First goal of the project is to create a C Library to easily use the GPIO of a raspberryPI 3 Under linux (currently raspbian jessie).
Second goal is to create a program in order to dump cartridges of a 1970's videopac game console. Such a program run under raspberryPI 3 with the use of a dedicated hardware board.
Pi64 is not an emulator, it just mimics the 80's classic 8bit computers with SDL based graphics and RtAudio based sound. The fullscreen editor for shell and the built-in program editor help you create your own programs and games. Programming language is LUA, but Pi64 is open for any library plugins written in your favourite language.
Source was written in pure C, so should compile on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux without issues.
