@infantrysmarties, there's no need to swear, my friend. I was merely demonstrating something that's even mentioned in the bible "responde stulto iuxta stultitiam suam ne sibi sapiens esse videatur" - Proverbs 26:5
RobotRogueYep, all the Arduboys never ship outside the US

I am pretty satisfied with this little handheld. i wish it had a micro sd slot but that's the beauty of Arduboy's simplicity. This was never meant to be a sort of jukebox arcade to sit for hours and play with. Just a little toy like when you were a kid. Back in my day you had one game and you enjoyed it! Games are easy to upload especially with the different game loaders available. I've played a few games and I'm impressed what devs can do with so little. I keep coming back to Sirene. Perfect little game. Can't wait for new games! Overall 10/10
If there was a special edition with transparent purple (like the gameboy advanced) i would buy another one!
I cant believe they wont ship this to Australia, I would be more than happy to pay extra for international shipping as I always do, so very disappointed...
I do work on embedded systems, but not this type of embedded. I mean, even the first gen Raspberry Pi model A has 256MB of memory, while this one has 2.5KB. The only reason why the screen works is because it’s 1 bit color depth. Think about it, even 16 color would require 4KB RAM for the framebuffer, which is way beyond 2.5KB. And it’s sold at at least 42.99...
BrandonChangWell it's also an 8-bit micro, you gotta go back to calculating your screen rather than drawing it. Think of it more like the first Gameboy than a smartphone.
Ooh, I got one of these from the initial Kickstarter and I LOVE it. Super fun to tinker with, and its supported by a great community where I can whine about how terrible I am at simple programming stuff😂
Thanks for your reply. I use Anki on Android with color coded Chinese characters (different colors representing the tones) and Mandarin audio feedback, so an Arduboy app wouldn't cut it for me. But no doubt it would be fun to program something like that if you've got the time.
FranciscoYeah. I know what you mean. I use a lot of different learning tools including things like Rosetta Stone, HelloChinese (Android) and a few character learning apps.
Mainly it'll be fun to develop. It'll also be useful when I don't have ready access to my phone and whatnot or quick practice while in line at a store, etc.
