Very intriguing … I’ll bet people do some cool stuff with this technology!
\n\"Gameduino\"<\/p>\n

\nGameduino<\/a> connects your Arduino<\/a> to a VGA monitor and speakers, so anyone who can write an Arduino sketch can create video games. It’s packed full of 8-bit game goodness: hundreds of sprites, smooth scrolling, multi-channel stereo sound.<\/p>\n

Gameduino is designed, tested, documented and the prototype is built. The videos were all taken from the real hardware — all the demos are on the Gameduino project page<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What needs to happen next is a manufacturing run. Because the board uses a fairly fancy chip, a short production run is the only way to keep the cost reasonable. Your pledge gets you a Gameduino from this first run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a horde of Gameduinos in kitchens, garages and classrooms, the resulting old-school 2D mayhem should be considerable.<\/p>\n

Gameduino is open-source hardware (BSD license) and all its code is GPL licensed.<\/p>\n

So are you that kind of person? Does the Gameduino look insanely cool, and you’re already daydreaming about the games you’ll create? Then go make a pledge!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
