A bitbox Laptop !

Pulkomandy, a known hacker of the bitbox mailing list, has been busy recently and created a laptop with his Bitbox !

Some people have done this with their raspi, but this one is way cooler ;)
This is really a neat hack which will give me neat ideas for my santa list this year :)

You can read more about his build (and more cool articles) and discuss about it on his blog: http://pulkomandy.tk/_/_Hacks%20and%20stuff/_Bitbox%20laptop

3D is coming ...

Developing Memory Matrix

Hello, my name is Lucas (not makapuf) and I wanted to walk you through my experience developing a game for the bitbox console.

Intro screen.  Prepare to memorize!

Let's get started!

ZX Spectrum emulator !

BitboZx

Hi, here is the first release of the BitBoxZx, a 48k ZX Spectrum emulator !

New game : Polar !

Polar is a small game written in ~ half a day.

Here is the link to the github project

Here are some screenshots - a very simple game indeed, <200 lines of C and a few sprites.

 

The game is still missing sound, music and more levels .. but the few levels are perfectly playable !

This game has been inspired by Polarity, a game written for ludum dare 23 by nornagon (
http://nornagon.net/games/polarity/ https://github.com/nornagon/polarity. ) but the code and GFX are original.
