Embedded Python: Build a Game on the BBC micro:bit
Writing code that runs in the terminal or in your web browser is good fun. Writing code that affects the real world, however, can be satisfying on a whole other level. Writing this sort of code is called embedded development, and Python is making it more accessible than ever!
This tutorial contains code snippets that allow you to build a simple game on the BBC micro:bit. To access the full code and get a sneak preview on what you’ll be building, click the link below:
What Is Embedded Development?
Embedded development is writing code for any device that isn’t a general-purpose computer. This definition is a little bit ambiguous, so some examples might help:
