Arduboy Playground
What?
Project snippets that support my experimentations with the Arduboy, an 8-bit, Arduino-compatible handheld game console
Why?
I've always been wanting to get into game development. 8-bit low-poly... uh, pixel, games have a special appeal to me.
Requirements
- Arduino IDE
- Arduboy console (TODO: there may be a web-based emulator somewhere: include a link)
Setup
- Install Arduino IDE
- Install required libraries
- Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries
- Search for
Arduboy - Install all the libraries ;)
- Connect Arduboy to development machine via USB
- Set board type:
- Tools > Board > Arduino Leonardo
- Select port:
- Tools > Port > COM# (Arduino Leonardo)
- Load or paste in a sketch
- Click on the upload button to upload the code; Arduboy will reboot and execute the newly uploaded code
