The program and video are the creation of YouTuber “ShellPuppy,” an American engineer and software developer. He started the project, he said in an email, after he watched a YouTube video showing a computer solving a 55×55 Rubik’s cube and thought that he could try something even more challenging. A 55×55 cube is “tiny,” he said.
“Computers have so much more memory and processing power,” ShellPuppy said. “So I sat down and did some back of the napkin math and figured out what I could do with 32gb of ram. I came up with 65,536×65,536 (I like powers of 2).”
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
