Arduboy - Arduino-based Handheld Game Development System Console

Just incredibly cool! Install Arduboy Uploader on your PC and choose from over 200 games. The machine holds one game at a time. It is really, really small and the games are simple but fun. (The asteroids clone is my favourite so far.) Find a protective cover so the surface doesn't get scratched up.

Un gadget muy agradable a la vista y tacto, la comunidad de desarrolladores es muy activa para el desarrollo de juegos.

This is the perfect device for your kids (or you) to learn programming. Things in today's PCs are so complicated that the learning curve is impossible for beginners. With this little thing you can do quality games and learn coding in a few days, with out the complexities of Windows, Compilers, Frameworks.... As a professional programmer I was able to learn the basics and make a game in a few hours.The device is just a normal Arduino board with a screen and buttons, but then, Arduboy provides a library to draw, print letters, do sprites (animations), beeps and reading buttons. That is all you need !!, and since we are in 2020, the device is so fast that your game will run smoothly, even with crappy coding.Once you get started you will realize that it is a computer first, it is not only for games, you can do anything you want. You can get started by drawing lines, images, and then move to sprites for animation. From there, your imagination is the limit.To get started, at the minimum, you need any computer with USB port. The Arduboy uses the Arduino dev tool, which is a simple notepad with compile and upload buttons. Almost zero time to learn, though, for me, I used Netbeans and the Arduboy CLI. For beginners the Arduino tool is more than enough.The language is C++, which might sounds scary. But Arduino did a clever thing where you only do static functions and a simple String class that hides the C++ complexities. So, a basic Ardboy program is two functions: setup() and loop(). And, if you want, that's it. Id you declare every variable in the stack, the program will look like Visual BASIC, and you don't have to worry about anything, very clever and simple, but immediately applicable if you want to learn real C++ from it, and move to more complex Arduino devices. Again, you imagination is the limit.

J'ai telechargé un jeux puis impossible d'en charger un nouveau !!pas génial, d'autres appareils ont l'air plus intéressante, je ne conseille pas le produit.

eine tolle Maschine fuer Freaks....erstaunlich was man mit Arduino so Alles anstellen kann.Das Laden von neuen Spielen koennte einfacher sein.
