gollark: It would be funny for about 10 seconds but then never mine a single block.
gollark: In any case, it doesn't seem like there's much to be done with a single micro:bit other than bad gimmicky games and hooking it up to other stuff.
gollark: I don't know.
gollark: > This work is based upon the amazing reverse engineering efforts of Sebastian Macke based upon an old text-to-speech (TTS) program called SAM (Software Automated Mouth) originally released in 1982 for the Commodore 64. The result is a small C library that we have adopted and adapted for the micro:bit. You can find out more from his homepage. Much of the information in this document was gleaned from the original user’s manual which can be found here.
gollark: Though 32KB's enough for something like a second of MP3.
