Unveiling the EndBOX – A microcomputer prototype for EndBASIC
Remember when turning a computer on meant instantly jumping into code? No bloat, no distractions—just you and a prompt? That’s the experience I’ve been working to bring back with the EndBOX: a small, resilient, nostalgia-packed, all-screen computer that boots straight into the retro-inspired EndBASIC environment you already know. And today, six months after its inception, I’m excited to formally show you the first working prototypes—though they are still rough and need refinement. Let’s dive into the goals for the EndBOX and what it could become with your help.
That’s the experience I’ve been working to bring back with the EndBOX: a small, resilient, nostalgia-packed, all-screen computer that boots straight into the retro-inspired EndBASIC environment you already know. Put another way: the EndBOX aims to offer a standalone device that can run EndBASIC programs—and how you interact with them, be it via a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen, a game pad, or even GPIO-attached inputs… should be up to you. Both models provide Wi-Fi to access the EndBASIC cloud file sharing service and should (eventually) also support Bluetooth for peripheral connectivity.
