Start Your App Development Journey Today with Robotic Sysinfo: The Best App Development Company in Karnal!
Tumblr media
I want to be an app developer, but I feel like I'm starting from scratch. Trust me, you're not alone. It feels like the tech world is some exclusive club, and you're standing outside looking in. But here's the thing: becoming an app developer, even with no experience, is 100% within your reach. It's all about taking that first step and staying motivated, no matter what. Our team has 5+ years of experience in app development solutions. So, let's get started and talk about how you can make this dream a reality—without any experience in your pocket yet.
Problem: The Struggle to Start
We've all been there. You want to break into a new field, but the amount of knowledge and skills you need feels impossible to conquer. You might be wondering: Can I even do this? Where do I start? What are all the things that I need to know to start building an application from scratch? It's pretty easy to get the feeling of lagging behind, especially when you view some of those super cool applications that you have installed on your mobile or the developers coding in lightning speed. It feels as though everyone has it all covered, and here you are stuck.
Solution: Your Pathway to Becoming an App Developer
Let's break this down into manageable steps. This journey may take a while, but every step forward will help you get closer to your goal.
Learn the Basics of Programming Languages
Code knowledge is what one needs in order to make an app. Don't be too worried though; you are not supposed to be a wizard overnight. Start learning the basics of some programming language, which will be good for beginners. Swift is for iOS apps while Kotlin is suitable for Android. JavaScript is ideal for something universally available. Go for one at a time. Free tutorials abound on the internet, while platforms like Codecademy or Udemy present structured courses so you can work your way toward getting the basics down.
Now get out there and start building something
Now, fun part: Create! Yes, you will not build the next Instagram tomorrow; that is okay, too. Try something simple for now, say a to-do list app or a weather app. You aren't going for a masterpiece, but for trying, experimenting, and learning. Don't sweat it if everything doesn't seem to work exactly as expected right off; that is how it is in the process of learning.
Participate in Developer Community
Sometimes, building an app on your own can feel lonely, but guess what? You don't have to do this by yourself. There are entire communities of developers out there—many of them started from scratch just like you. Forums like Stack Overflow, Reddit's r/learnprogramming, or local coding meetups are places where you can ask questions, get advice, and make connections. These communities are full of people who want to see you succeed, and they'll help you get through the tough patches.
Create a Portfolio of Your Work
Once you’ve started building apps, showcase them! Create a portfolio that highlights your work, even if it’s just a few small projects. A portfolio is essential to landing your first job or freelance gig. Make it public on platforms like GitHub or build your own website. Show the world that you’re serious about your new career, and let potential employers or clients see your growth.
Take Online Courses to Take It to the Next Level
If you want to level up your skills, consider enrolling in a structured online course. Websites like Udacity, Coursera, or freeCodeCamp offer great resources for both beginners and intermediate learners. Getting a certification can also boost your credibility and show potential employers that you've got the skills to back up your passion.
Look for Freelance Opportunities or Internships
With that said, as you build some small confidence, find opportunities where you can implement this knowledge into the real world. Start applying for internships or volunteer work. Don't be afraid to take small gigs; places like Upwork and Fiverr offer many smaller projects, just right for those starting out. Every single one of them teaches you something and gets you a little bit closer to what you want to be.
Why You Should Wait: The Tech Industry is Booming
Here's the exciting part—the app development industry is growing fast. According to Statista, the mobile app market generated over $407 billion in 2023. This means there are endless opportunities for developers. Whether you're building the next great social media app, a life-saving health app, or an awesome game, the demand is huge. And it's only going to keep growing.
One company that started with zero experience and grew into something amazing is Robotic Sysinfo, an app development company in Karnal, India. Now, our team has 5+ years of experience in this field. They started small, and through dedication, they’ve become a leading player in the app development world. Their story is proof that with persistence, even those who start with no experience can build something great.

Conclusion: You’ve Got This!
It's time to stop wondering whether you can. Yes, you should try! The process of becoming an app developer isn't an overnight thing; however, it can happen if you start small, continue pushing, and embrace the journey. You would surely stumble, but with every line of code written, you are getting stronger and stronger before you even realize how far you have come.
Remember: the world needs more developers, and this is your chance to be in this exciting world. Whether you aspire to create something big or are just learning because you love the idea, today is the best time to fit into it. Your future as an app developer begins today.

⭐ So you want to learn pixel art? ⭐
🔹 Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!
Edit: Now available in Google Doc format if you don't have a Tumblr account 🥰
Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.
This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!
🔹 Do I need money?
NO!!! Pixel art is one of the most accessible mediums out there.
I still use a mouse because I prefer it to a tablet! You won't be at any disadvantage here if you can't afford the best hardware or software.
Because our canvases are typically very small, you don't need a good PC to run a good brush engine or anything like that.
✨Did you know? One of the most skilled and beloved pixel artists uses MS PAINT! Wow!!
🔹 What software should I use?
Here are some of the most popular programs I see my friends and peers using. Stars show how much I recommend the software for beginners! ⭐
💰 Paid options:
⭐⭐⭐ Aseprite (for PC) - $19.99
This is what I and many other pixel artists use. You may find when applying to jobs that they require some knowledge of Aseprite. Since it has become so popular, companies like that you can swap raw files between artists.
Aseprite is amazingly customizable, with custom skins, scripts and extensions on Itch.io, both free and paid.
If you have ever used any art software before, it has most of the same features and should feel fairly familiar to use. It features a robust animation suite and a tilemap feature, which have saved me thousands of hours of labour in my work. The software is also being updated all the time, and the developers listen to the users. I really recommend Aseprite!
⭐ Photoshop (for PC) - Monthly $$
A decent option for those who already are used to the PS interface. Requires some setup to get it ready for pixel-perfect art, but there are plenty of tutorials for doing so.
Animation is also much more tedious on PS which you may want to consider before investing time!
⭐⭐ ProMotion NG (for PC) - $19.00
An advanced and powerful software which has many features Aseprite does not, including Colour Cycling and animated tiles.
⭐⭐⭐ Pixquare (for iOS) - $7.99 - $19.99 (30% off with code 'tofu'!!)
Probably the best app available for iPad users, in active development, with new features added all the time.
Tumblr media
Look! My buddy Jon recommends it highly, and uses it often.
One cool thing about Pixquare is that it takes Aseprite raw files! Many of my friends use it to work on the same project, both in their office and on the go.
⭐ Procreate (for iOS) - $12.99
If you have access to Procreate already, it's a decent option to get used to doing pixel art. It does however require some setup. Artist Pixebo is famously using Procreate, and they have tutorials of their own if you want to learn.
⭐⭐ ReSprite iOS and Android. (free trial, but:) $19.99 premium or $$ monthly
ReSprite is VERY similar in terms of UI to Aseprite, so I can recommend it. They just launched their Android release!
🆓 Free options:
⭐⭐⭐ Libresprite (for PC)
Libresprite is an alternative to Aseprite. It is very, very similar, to the point where documentation for Aseprite will be helpful to Libresprite users.
⭐⭐ Pixilart (for PC and mobile)
A free in-browser app, and also a mobile app! It is tied to the website Pixilart, where artists upload and share their work. A good option for those also looking to get involved in a community.
⭐⭐ Dotpict (for mobile)
Dotpict is similar to Pixilart, with a mobile app tied to a website, but it's a Japanese service. Did you know that in Japanese, pixel art is called 'Dot Art'? Dotpict can be a great way to connect with a different community of pixel artists! They also have prompts and challenges often.
🔹 So I got my software, now what?
◽Nice! Now it's time for the basics of pixel art.
❗ WAIT ❗ Before this section, I want to add a little disclaimer. All of these rules/guidelines can be broken at will, and some 'no-nos' can look amazing when done intentionally.
The pixel-art fundamentals can be exceedingly helpful to new artists, who may feel lost or overwhelmed by choice. But if you feel they restrict you too harshly, don't force yourself! At the end of the day it's your art, and you shouldn't try to contort yourself into what people think a pixel artist 'should be'. What matters is your own artistic expression. 💕👍
◽Phew! With that out of the way...
🔸"The Rules"
There are few hard 'rules' of pixel art, mostly about scaling and exporting. Some of these things will frequently trip up newbies if they aren't aware, and are easy to overlook.
🔹Scaling method
There are a couple ways of scaling your art. The default in most art programs, and the entire internet, is Bi-linear scaling, which usually works out fine for most purposes. But as pixel artists, we need a different method.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both are scaled up x10. See the difference?
On the left is scaled using Bilinear, and on the right is using Nearest-Neighbor. We love seeing those pixels stay crisp and clean, so we use nearest-neighbor. 
(Most pixel-art programs have nearest-neighbor enabled by default! So this may not apply to you, but it's important to know.)
🔹Mixels
Mixels are when there are different (mixed) pixel sizes in the same image.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here I have scaled up my art- the left is 200%, and the right is 150%. Yuck!
As we can see, the "pixel" sizes end up different. We generally try to scale our work by multiples of 100 - 200%, 300% etc. rather than 150%. At larger scales however, the minute differences in pixel sizes are hardly noticeable!
Mixels are also sometimes seen when an artist scales up their work, then continues drawing on it with a 1 pixel brush.
Tumblr media
Many would say that this is not great looking! This type of pixels can be indicative of a beginner artist. But there are plenty of creative pixel artists out there who mixels intentionally, making something modern and cool.
🔹Saving Your Files
We usually save our still images as .PNGs as they don’t create any JPEG artifacts or loss of quality. It's a little hard to see here, but there are some artifacts, and it looks a little blurry. It also makes the art very hard to work with if we are importing a JPEG.
Tumblr media
For animations .GIF is good, but be careful of the 256 colour limit. Try to avoid using too many blending mode layers or gradients when working with animations. If you aren’t careful, your animation could flash afterwards, as the .GIF tries to reduce colours wherever it can. It doesn’t look great!
Tumblr media
Here's an old piece from 2021 where I experienced .GIF lossiness, because I used gradients and transparency, resulting in way too many colours.
🔹Pixel Art Fundamentals - Techniques and Jargon
❗❗Confused about Jaggies? Anti-Aliasing? Banding? Dithering? THIS THREAD is for you❗❗ << it's a link, click it!!
As far as I'm concerned, this is THE tutorial of all time for understanding pixel art. These are techniques created and named by the community of people who actually put the list together, some of the best pixel artists alive currently. Please read it!!
🔸How To Learn
Okay, so you have your software, and you're all ready to start. But maybe you need some more guidance? Try these tutorials and resources! It can be helpful to work along with a tutorial until you build your confidence up.
⭐⭐ Pixel Logic (A Digital Book) - $10 A very comprehensive visual guide book by a very skilled and established artist in the industry. I own a copy myself.
⭐⭐⭐ StudioMiniBoss - free A collection of visual tutorials, by the artist that worked on Celeste! When starting out, if I got stuck, I would go and scour his tutorials and see how he did it.
⭐ Lospec Tutorials - free A very large collection of various tutorials from all over the internet. There is a lot to sift through here if you have the time.
⭐⭐⭐ Cyangmou's Tutorials - free (tipping optional) Cyangmou is one of the most respected and accomplished modern pixel artists, and he has amassed a HUGE collection of free and incredibly well-educated visual tutorials. He also hosts an educational stream every week on Twitch called 'pixelart for beginners'.
⭐⭐⭐ Youtube Tutorials - free There are hundreds, if not thousands of tutorials on YouTube, but it can be tricky to find the good ones. My personal recommendations are MortMort, Brandon, and AdamCYounis- these guys really know what they're talking about!
🔸 How to choose a canvas size
When looking at pixel art turorials, we may see people suggest things like 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64. These are standard sizes for pixel art games with tiles. However, if you're just making a drawing, you don't necessarily need to use a standard canvas size like that.
What I like to think about when choosing a canvas size for my illustrations is 'what features do I think it is important to represent?' And make my canvas as small as possible, while still leaving room for my most important elements.
Imagine I have characters in a scene like this:
Tumblr media
I made my canvas as small as possible (232 x 314), but just big enough to represent the features and have them be recognizable (it's Good Omens fanart ��)!! If I had made it any bigger, I would be working on it for ever, due to how much more foliage I would have to render.
If you want to do an illustration and you're not sure, just start at somewhere around 100x100 - 200x200 and go from there.
It's perfectly okay to crop your canvas, or scale it up, or crunch your art down at any point if you think you need a different size. I do it all the time! It only takes a bit of cleanup to get you back to where you were.
🔸Where To Post
Outside of just regular socials, Twitter, Tumblr, Deviantart, Instagram etc, there are a few places that lean more towards pixel art that you might not have heard of.
⭐ Lospec Lospec is a low-res focused art website. Some pieces get given a 'monthly masterpiece' award. Not incredibly active, but I believe there are more features being added often.
⭐⭐ Pixilart Pixilart is a very popular pixel art community, with an app tied to it. The community tends to lean on the young side, so this is a low-pressure place to post with an relaxed vibe.
⭐⭐ Pixeljoint Pixeljoint is one of the big, old-school pixel art websites. You can only upload your art unscaled (1x) because there is a built-in zoom viewer. It has a bit of a reputation for being elitist (back in the 00s it was), but in my experience it's not like that any more. This is a fine place for a pixel artist to post if they are really interested in learning, and the history. The Hall of Fame has some of the most famous / impressive pixel art pieces that paved the way for the work we are doing today.
⭐⭐⭐ Cafe Dot Cafe Dot is my art server so I'm a little biased here. 🍵 It was created during the recent social media turbulence. We wanted a place to post art with no algorithms, and no NFT or AI chuds. We have a heavy no-self-promotion rule, and are more interested in community than skill or exclusivity. The other thing is that we have some kind of verification system- you must apply to be a Creator before you can post in the Art feed, or use voice. This helps combat the people who just want to self-promo and dip, or cause trouble, as well as weed out AI/NFT people. Until then, you are still welcome to post in any of the threads or channels. There is a lot to do in Cafe Dot. I host events weekly, so check the threads!
⭐⭐/r/pixelart The pixel art subreddit is pretty active! I've also heard some of my friends found work through posting here, so it's worth a try if you're looking. However, it is still Reddit- so if you're sensitive to rude people, or criticism you didn't ask for, you may want to avoid this one. Lol
🔸 Where To Find Work
You need money? I got you! As someone who mostly gets scouted on social media, I can share a few tips with you:
Put your email / portfolio in your bio Recruiters don't have all that much time to find artists, make it as easy as possible for someone to find your important information!
Clean up your profile If your profile feed is all full of memes, most people will just tab out rather than sift through. Doesn't apply as much to Tumblr if you have an art tag people can look at.
Post regularly, and repost Activity beats everything in the social media game. It's like rolling the dice, and the more you post the more chances you have. You have to have no shame, it's all business baby
Outside of just posting regularly and hoping people reach out to you, it can be hard to know where to look. Here are a few places you can sign up to and post around on.
/r/INAT INAT (I Need A Team) is a subreddit for finding a team to work with. You can post your portfolio here, or browse for people who need artists.
/r/GameDevClassifieds Same as above, but specifically for game-related projects.
Remote Game Jobs / Work With Indies Like Indeed but for game jobs. Browse them often, or get email notifications.
VGen VGen is a website specifically for commissions. You need a code from another verified artist before you can upgrade your account and sell, so ask around on social media or ask your friends. Once your account is upgraded, you can make a 'menu' of services people can purchase, and they send you an offer which you are able to accept, decline, or counter.
The evil websites of doom: Fiverr and Upwork I don't recommend them!! They take a big cut of your profit, and the sites are teeming with NFT and AI people hoping to make a quick buck. The site is also extremely oversaturated and competitive, resulting in a race to the bottom (the cheapest, the fastest, doing the most for the least). Imagine the kind of clients who go to these websites, looking for the cheapest option. But if you're really desperate...
🔸 Community
I do really recommend getting involved in a community. Finding like-minded friends can help you stay motivated to keep drawing. One day, those friends you met when you were just starting out may become your peers in the industry. Making friends is a game changer!
Discord servers Nowadays, the forums of old are mostly abandoned, and people split off into many different servers. Cafe Dot, Pixel Art Discord (PAD), and if you can stomach scrolling past all the AI slop, you can browse Discord servers here.
Twitch Streams Twitch has kind of a bad reputation for being home to some of the more edgy gamers online, but the pixel art community is extremely welcoming and inclusive. Some of the people I met on Twitch are my friends to this day, and we've even worked together on different projects! Browse pixel art streams here, or follow some I recommend: NickWoz, JDZombi, CupOhJoe, GrayLure, LumpyTouch, FrankiePixelShow, MortMort, Sodor, NateyCakes, NyuraKim, ShinySeabass, I could go on for ever really... There are a lot of good eggs on Pixel Art Twitch.
🔸 Other Helpful Websites
Palettes Lospec has a huge collection of user-made palettes, for any artist who has trouble choosing their colours, or just wants to try something fun. Rejected Palettes is full of palettes that didn't quite make it onto Lospec, ran by people who believe there are no bad colours.
The Spriters Resource TSR is an incredible website where users can upload spritesheets and tilesets from games. You can browse for your favourite childhood game, and see how they made it! This website has helped me so much in understanding how game assets come together in a scene.
VGMaps Similar to the above, except there are entire maps laid out how they would be played. This is incredible if you have to do level design, or for mocking up a scene for fun.
Game UI Database Not pixel-art specific, but UI is a very challenging part of graphics, so this site can be a game-changer for finding good references!
Retronator A digital newspaper for pixel-art lovers! New game releases, tutorials, and artworks!
Itch.io A website where people can upload, games, assets, tools... An amazing hub for game devs and game fans alike. A few of my favourite tools: Tiled, PICO-8, Pixel Composer, Juice FX, Magic Pencil for Aseprite
🔸 The End?
This is just part 1 for now, so please drop me a follow to see any more guides I release in the future. I plan on doing some writeups on how I choose colours, how to practise, and more!
I'm not an expert by any means, but everything I did to get to where I am is outlined in this guide. Pixel art is my passion, my job and my hobby! I want pixel art to be recognized everywhere as an art-form, a medium of its own outside of game-art or computer graphics!
Tumblr media
This guide took me a long time, and took a lot of research and experience. Consider following me or supporting me if you are feeling generous.
And good luck to all the fledgling pixel artists, I hope you'll continue and have fun. I hope my guide helped you, and don't hesitate to send me an ask if you have any questions! 💕

Sparking Young Minds: Building a Fun and Engaging Robotics Curriculum for Primary School
Tumblr media
By introducing robotics at this stage, we can ignite a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in young minds. This article explores the benefits of incorporating a robotics program into your primary school curriculum and provides practical tips to get you started.
Why Robotics in Primary School?
Tumblr media
Integrating robotics has numerous advantages that extend far beyond building robots. It fosters:
Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Students learn to break down challenges into smaller steps, experiment with solutions, and adjust their approach as needed. This iterative process builds valuable problem-solving skills applicable across all subjects.
Creativity and Innovation: Robotics encourages children to think outside the box. They use their imaginations to design robots for specific tasks and then translate those ideas into reality.
Collaboration and Teamwork: Many robotics projects involve teamwork. Students learn to communicate effectively, share ideas, and work together towards a common goal. This fosters cooperation and builds strong interpersonal skills.
Computational Thinking: At its core, robotics involves programming robots to perform specific actions. Even at a basic level, this introduces children to the logic and concepts behind coding, a crucial skill in today’s world.
Confidence and Self-Esteem: Successfully completing a robotics project can be incredibly rewarding for young students. It boosts their confidence and fosters a sense of accomplishment.
Building a Fun and Engaging Robotics Curriculum
Tumblr media
1. Choose Age-Appropriate Tools and Kits:
For young children, simpler robotics kits are ideal. Look for age-specific options that utilize block-based programming or visual coding interfaces. These platforms allow students to focus on the concepts and problem-solving aspects without getting bogged down by complex coding languages.
There are many fantastic educational robotics kits available, such as Lego Mindstorms Education EV3 and Thymio. Consider factors like budget, class size, project complexity, and desired learning outcomes when choosing a kit.
2. Start with Simple Projects:
Don’t overwhelm students with complicated tasks right away. Begin with introductory projects that build upon each other. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Line Following Robot: This classic project teaches students about sensors, motors, and basic programming concepts. Students can build a robot that follows a black line drawn on the floor.
Maze Solving Robot: Building upon the Line Following project, students program a robot to navigate a maze. This adds a layer of complexity and encourages strategic thinking.
Obstacle Avoiding Robot: Introduce obstacle sensors and programming for conditional actions. Students create a robot that detects and avoids obstacles on its path.
Creative Expression Projects: Let students unleash their creativity by designing robots with specific functions, like robots that draw simple shapes or play a simple melody.
3. Integrate Robotics with Other Subjects:
Robotics isn’t a standalone subject. Integrate projects with existing curriculum to reinforce learning across different areas. Use robotics to:
Science: Explore concepts like force, motion, and sensors in science lessons. Use robots to test scientific theories or simulate natural phenomena.
Mathematics: Apply mathematical concepts like measurement, direction, and angles while programming robots to perform specific tasks.
Language Arts: Create stories involving robots, write instructions for programming robots, or use robots to act out scenes from a play.
Social Studies: Design robots that could be used to solve real-world problems or learn about robots used in different industries.
4. Make it Playful and Engaging:
Learning should be fun! Incorporate games, challenges, and storytelling into your robotics curriculum for primary school. Encourage friendly competition and celebrate successes as a group. Consider these ideas:
Themed Projects: Design projects around popular themes like space exploration, animal habitats, or historical events.
Robotics Olympics: Organize a fun-filled event with mini-challenges for students to showcase their robots’ abilities.
Guest Speakers: Invite professionals working in robotics to share their experiences and inspire students.
5. Provide Ongoing Support and Feedback:
Students will learn best through exploration and experimentation. Be available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer feedback throughout the project.
Remember, the goal is not to create robotics experts at this stage. It’s about nurturing curiosity, fostering problem-solving skills, and making learning about STEM subjects engaging and enjoyable.
Ready to Get Started?
Technobotics.in offers a wide range of educational robotics kits and resources specifically designed for primary school educators. Their website provides comprehensive
