TheC64mini educational role

  nicolafugazzaro

   Hello Guys! [2]:)
   In my opinion, TheC64mini team must develope this amazing project remember
   this: C64 was a worldwide success due to
   #1 unlimited software libraries
   #2 tons of technical documentation
   #3 customizable design.
   TheC64mini must be intended also for use different from gaming; it must be
   "up to date" to younger users needs like programming - i.e. coding in
   Blockly - like languages and python - and surfing the web. I think that a
   "TheC64mini" flavoured linux version is the best solution for these needs.
   TheC64mini is a C64's educational powerful evolution: it isn't a toy, is
   it?

   [3]nicolafugazzaro I think the Raspberry Pi already fills the niche you’re
   thinking of.

   The idea of the c64 mini is to help make up the funding for the Big
   version not reached on Indiegogo ..

   Its unlikely the mini C64 will be any more than it is ... After all the
   Mini Snes doesn't play up to date console games does it [5]:)

   That's not the idea of this at all ..

   [6]synchromesh You're right my friend, it's true. However never say never.
   The community could make extraordinary new projects sw/hw. I believe in
   this power. The Arduino and Raspberry pi communities docet! [7];)

   [8]RetroBiker Dear friend, you're right, But I'm a dreamer [9]:D
   TheC64mini (and mostly its full version) could be complementary or
   alternative to raspberry pi ...

   Is there anywhere an article about the Big version and its goals?

   It would like to know how will the C64 experience be different from
   programming programs and games on an Raspberry Pi?
