Raspberry Pi handheld Poco

Engadget’s Sean Buckly wrote about a new Indiegogo project called Poco Supercomputer. Poco, a credit-card-sized device based on a Raspberry Pi chipset, can be used as an action camera, a hi-res music player, a recorder, and a gaming console!

It has an ultra-sharp 2.8 inch IPC touchscreen, USB and HDMI ports, and two joysticks that include center push switches. You can download and play Raspberry Pi games on it such as Minecraft as well as classics such as Quake. Check out the Indiegogo project for more information and some images showing the device.

Tip: also check out the Polycade Retro Home Arcade, a new Kickstarter campaign.

Open source AMDGPU Linux Driver Released

Announced on the X.Org mailing list, this Linux driver will support the latest AMD GPUs, such as the AMD GPU families Tonga, Carrizo, Iceland, Fiji, and Stoney. Forked from the open source xf86-video-ati AMD Radeon graphics driver, this brand new xf86-video-amdgpu 1.0.0 driver will be introduced in Linux kernel 4.2. Read the full story on SoftPedia.

Pick of the week: Games on GitHub

While researching some game news, I came across the following on GitHub: “A list of popular/awesome videos games, add-ons, maps, etc. hosted on GitHub. Any genre. Any platform. Any engine.”

Below is a list of open source games and game-related projects that can be found on GitHub—old school text adventures, educational games, 8-bit platform games, browser-based games, indie games, GameJam projects, add-ons/maps/hacks/plugins for commercial games, libraries, frameworks, engines, you name it.

Explore, and have fun!
