# MiniScript Roundup #19

Welcome to another week of MiniScript news, or actually another two weeks news, as I was busy with family last weekend. I have another busy weekend this weekend, but not before I get some news out. I think it's the Joe Show this edition, but let's see what we've missed out on.

* Continuing from where he left of, Joe published Episode #5 of his Base Defender coding series

* Ever the tinkerer, he's also been experimenting with getting MiniScript running natively on a Raspberry Pi. Check out how far he's gotten in this article.

* For those looking for some classic graphics coding techniques, he's got a nice article on using Off-screen displays in Mini Micro

* From someone who isn't Joe, Discord user Minerobber has written a Base64 encoding/decoding library that could prove very useful to some. If you have the need to convert data between binary and text, this is very useful. Checkout this [GitHub Link](https://gist.github.com/MineRobber9000/b51890f060f67b3531f53c90532fb40f) to the code.
    
* If you'd just like to watch some MiniScript coding in practice, why not checkout this coding session from Discord user shellrider

That's all I have for this update. There's been lots of other discussion on coding in the [MiniScript Discord](https://discord.gg/z4sJEeyg) as well, so check it out if you want to get involved. Until next time...
