r/Arduboy

The Arduboy has honestly been one of my favorite gadgets I've owned over the years. I think I got one of the original releases back in 2016 and loved the concept from the beginning.

The funny part is... my wife eventually absconded with that original one 😄 It now lives in a shadow box because I actually used an Arduboy game to propose to her.

I missed having one around, so a couple years ago I picked up an FX and was immediately happy to have one back for tinkering and coding. Programming for these little things has been a blast and reminds me why I got into programming and game development in the first place.

Now I'm debating picking up an FX-C too. Is the form factor basically the same as the FX? I thought it was, but wasn't completely sure.

Hi! I'm a gamedev who mainly worked in PICO-8, Godot and Picotron, but now I want to tackle the Arduboy.

I also love tinkering with electronics - I'm now planning to build my own Arduboy. I ordered the tiny OLED and I am planning on using a Arduino Nano - are there any pitfalls I should be aware of or stuff I should definitely avoid/do?

Thanks in advance, can't wait to create and play some tiny games :)
