All podcastsS01E11: Lounging with Linux Lounge
In this eleventh episode Ezra and Peter discuss the June Community Update and interview content creator Linux Lounge! They also discuss (your) community feedback and questions!
What have we been up to lately?
Ezra:
is releasing a game!
Itās nearly done! It should be released June 22nd if no serious issues arise. Otherwise, shortly after.
The game is, of course, open source. So, you can make fun of my horrifying code.
Itās a mysterious adventure filled with a handful of minigames, a short story and minimal moon logic.
Itās called "Televoid: Out of The Loop" and is a fangame for a show I enjoy: Televoid, an online series staring Ian MacLeod on his YouTube Channel. To show our appreciation of this amazing series, some fans and I got together to make this game.
Itās pretty much consumed my life these past few weeksā¦
After the released, I might have some fun and see if I canāt port it to the pinephone, for the giggles. otherwiseā¦
Iāve also been back on the video making train!
Peter:
wrote a bad blog post because of having had a PinePhone for a year,
has written the 50th installment of LinBits, the weekly update on all things Linux Phones in between recording and publication of this episode.

Question to the both of you @talkpine. What is a project you want to see on the pinephone that can be realistically done by a beginner programmer whoās looking to get their hands dirty and expand their skillset? Be it practical, cool or just plain fun, throw us some ideas! See here
We crowdsourced this question on Discord, Twitter and (most successfully) Fosstodon, and came up with the following (thanks again!)
More general suggestions were also received
Perhaps adding functionality to an existing application might be a good way to start?
