The 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?
