[ale] emulating a pi?

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi all,

This may sound like an odd question, but I'm wondering if you can emulate a raspberry pi.  At the moment, I just want to learn how the software side of things works.  I don't have a need for the hardware at the moment, and buying the pi and power supply and case and memory card and usb hub and wifi dongle, etc. would probably cost me over $ 100.  I know I can run any standard programming language like python or c on my linux or windows computer, but I'm also wondering if I can do things like emulating the scratch language and emulating things like the the gpio ports and lights on the computer screen.

Any thoughts?

Sincerely,

Ron
