So cool! I want to make one!

Why am I not surprised? :)

@Vito: The best place to ask questions and raise issues is on GitHub. This is where the team and other community members are actively helping developers. I encourage you to submit your question there: https://github.com/Microsoft/Win2D/issues.

In the meantime, the spritesheet demo in the example gallery would be your best bet as to how to animate via spritesheets. The wizard in that sample has two spritesheet-based animations (walking & idle), and there is also a spritesheet for the environment. You can get the source code at https://github.com/Microsoft/Win2D-samples, and this example is in the UAP project (not the shared project).

Also make sure to check out my Bot Framework video I posted a few weeks ago: https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/raw-tech/Build-Reaction-Cortana-and-the-Bot-Framework.

Kenny,

I good show would be installing python on the Raspberry PI Win 10 IoT, and showing how to convert python from one other Raspberry Pi OS's on it.

See my comment above. Unlike Raspbian which is a flavor of Linux, Windows 10 IoT Core is not a consumer OS. You cannot code on it the way that Raspbian lets you code in Python or Scratch. Windows 10 IoT Core is meant to run Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps only, and those are built in Visual Studio with C#, VB, or C++. We will cover the development experience of Windows 10 IoT Core in future episodes soon enough. In the meantime, check out the reference links in the show notes.

Sooooo, if Rasberry PI is ARM based, does this mean I could somehow (hint - suggestions please) get Windows 10 on my Windows RT Surface?

From an end-user point of view, Windows 10 IoT Core is VERY different than full Windows 10 or event Windows RT. Windows 10 IoT Core is a single-app environment. There is no shell, no store, no ability to run more than one app. It is purely meant for IoT scenarios and not for consumer or business scenarios. The huge benefit of course is that you get access to the full Windows 10 developer stack to build your IoT client-side apps.

@KennySpade:u called the micro USB cable micro SD. Hehe

Hehe, yeah, we caught that before publishing yesterday but it was too late to reshoot. Good catch!

Thanks for the kick on the back side

LOL, that's one way to look at it :)

Thanks for reminding me that I need a 3D printer Jeremy :) I want one so badly. I wonder what our viewers are using for 3D printing. Any recommendations?

@Northernlad: Thanks for the suggestion. Most of us already use Fritzing, you're right, it's an awesome software. We'll be sure to feature more screens to show diagrams and such in future shows.

@RaReRa: Thanks for the feedback. We're still ironing out best practices for the show and we'll be sure to use camera close-ups and/or on-screen diagrams to make it easier to see schematics and breadboard experiments. Thanks for watching.

@Jamie Dixon: Hi Jamie, I agree with you 100%, we all do. The cast of The Maker Show is actually much larger than the 6 guys you met in this episode. Some of the makers you will see in future episodes include Stacey Mulcahy, Rachel Weil and Nathaniel Rose. We have a very diverse team in DX and we embrace diversity across the board. It just so happens that these are the 6 that could make it for the recording of episode 0. Stay tuned! :)
