Event

<p>MicroStudio is a game engine aimed at beginners, based on code yet very accessible, forgiving, and providing immediate feedback on everything you do. MicroStudio includes a pixel-art sprite editor and a map editor. Accessible online with a simple web browser, it allows multiple users to work live on the same project. It also includes many interactive tutorials and documentation.</p> <p>In this workshop, we will learn how to draw shapes and sprites on screen, how to create animations, and how to check for player input. Finally, we will all create a simple game that we can even run on our smartphones. Once back home, participants can continue working on their project. For this session and later use, participants can use a simple guest (anonymous) account and do not have to create a full microStudio account. They can later convert the guest account to a full account if they want.</p> <p>microStudio is a free and open-source project (MIT license). Available at: https://microstudio.dev Get the source code and run your own instance: https://github.com/pmgl/microstudio Also available as a standalone, offline version for Linux, macOS, Windows and Raspberry PI: https://microstudio.itch.io/microstudio</p> <p>Unless stated otherwise, FOSDEM Junior workshops are intended for children aged 7 to 17. Don't forget to bring your own laptop.</p>
