Over the past few months, my friend Bertrand and I have been working on a game console, the PIX-6T4, which is powered by a Netduino mini.
The console is designed as platform for learning digital electronics and C#: we’re in the process of writing a book covering all aspects of building the console, how its components work and how to write games for it with our framework.
Here’s a video of the prototype of the console below:
and here, as we presented it during the Ask An Engineer Show-And-Tell run by AdaFruit on Google+ last weekend: http://vimeo.com/26943990
As always, it’s entirely open source / open hardware and we hope that you’ll have as much fun building your own and making games as we did, which we will cover in a series of upcoming posts, often referring to past articles on this blog.
Cheers,
-Fabien.
