• SCI-CALC update: More games! (Arduboy support)

  I have ported the Arduboy library over to the sci-calc! (visit arduboy.com to learn more about arduboy). Most of the work was done by tonym128 (https://github.com/tonym128/ESP32_Arduboy), I just tweaked a few places to make it work for the sci-calc. The games are loaded on the MicroSD card, like all the other external programs for the sci-calc. Porting games is relatively easy (Documentation coming soon!). Source: about 1 year ago

• Thought experiment: viewing games as conceptual art

  There are also various open-source physical consoles (e.g. Arduboy, Pokitto, Gamebuino), each with its own unique character that spawns its very own culture of independent, free, non-commercial game creation. Source: over 1 year ago

• 8 Bit Gaming Console - What would you want to see?

  Well, this has been done a few times before. Arduboy is likely the most prominent existing handheld in this category. Its basic and original version costs $49, is currently available in that and an upgraded version, and is a true 8-bit handheld. Source: over 2 years ago

• Author Brett Author Weiss the author displays his hypocrisy as he uses anti Amico arguments against Playdate

  Get a cheap https://arduboy.com/ (which has a crank mod) and support a better homebrew scene. Source: over 2 years ago

• Can anybody please explain why Playdate is that expensive?

  I'm just confused why it is so much more expensive than the arduboy (https://arduboy.com/) or anything coming out of ambernic(https://www.anbernic.com/). Ambernic especially seems to be as good or better build quality, chip speed, etc., and cheaper for what it is! arduboy has such a great community behind it and anbernic devices run pico-8, another great gaming development community. I want to get the playdate... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Arduboy aesthetic

  The Arduboy isn’t a emulation handheld, it’s a development tool. It runs open source Arduino programs that you can download online, make yourself, or even run in-browser. Source: almost 3 years ago

• what type of projects did you do to land your job?

  Have you ever seen this? I’ve ordered one but it’s on back order. I’m excited to tinker around with it. Source: about 3 years ago
