Blog about the Xojo programming language and IDE
It’s Computer Science Education Week, which also means it’s time for Code.org’s Hour of Code.
To share Xojo with Hour of Code, I’ve put together a short 5-part series of videos (less than 25 minutes total) to show how to make a simple game called Asteroid Run.

Reality shatter. The two objects are traveling in exactly the same manner. Watch when it turns gray. https://t.co/gkRKyfNnyI pic.twitter.com/HpZsudeXSG

So of course, I though that would be cool to try in Xojo. After a few minutes of playing around I quickly had it.
Comments closedThe other day I saw this article on Dev.To: A Universe in One Line of Code with 10 PRINT
It talks about how you could make a maze-like structure on a Commodore 64 with just this one line of code:
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
The author then goes on to show you how you might do something similar using Python and pygame.
I love all things retro and this seemed like fun, so I thought I would whip up the same thing in Xojo.
Comments closedYou can develop and build console and desktop apps for the Raspberry Pi using Xojo 2019r1 or later for free.
Download Xojo today and get started with this simple music player app for your Raspberry Pi that can play mp3 and aac (m4a) files from a folder.
Comments closedWe are always keen to see apps and projects that Xojo developers have made for their Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 single-board computers. Especially since Xojo 2019r1 when building for Pi Desktop and Console is free with Xojo Pi!
I am pleased to announce some updates to our GPIO project to make it even easier to use more types of hardware in your Raspberry Pi projects.
Comments closedYou may have seen the 2048 game running on iOS and Android. Here’s a version made with Xojo, which I call 2K that runs on Desktop, Web and iOS.
Comments closedDid you know there is a clone of Flappy Bird written in Xojo?
