The display is black and white, yes.
It's only expensive when compared to products churned out by massive megacorporation with economies of scale on their side. This device was made from scratch by a very small company.
- roywiggins 5y agoThe Arduboy is $60. I don't doubt this thing is more capable that the Arduboy, the hardware is probably nicer, but they're both tiny fidget toys for small games- and one is 4x pricier than the other. So it's not like cheaper indie handhelds can't exist.
- Danieru 5y agoThe Arduboy is more powerful for sure. I've made a game for the Playdate using the Pulp tool release last month. My summation is the device will be a neat toy for hobby gamedevs.
- user-the-name 5y agoIn specs it certainly isn't.
- nyanpasu64 5y agoApparently the Arduboy is based on the ATmega328. Is writing code in C/C++/Rust fast enough to write full-motion graphically/logically complex (if graphical complexity is even possible on a small display) games on the system, or do you need to implement large chunks in assembly code?
