Code and program your own, custom video game onto this hand-held device, Arduboy, in this 2-day class
Interested in video game development? This is the class for you!
Learn Arduino Coding through game design by creating your own video game. During this 6 hour class split over two Saturdays, we will learn the basics of Arduino (C++) programming while writing games for a credit card sized system. We will work with variables, read inputs from buttons, and draw graphics on the screen. Other games can also be downloaded onto the handheld console. Over 200 games are available for free created by members of the community.
