Math based RPG

A few weeks back I posted a blog about creating an RPG game for the NES with math based combat and puzzles.  Kind of like a Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy with Math questions as your challenges.I…Continue

Possible alternative 8bit console that's open source.

A while back I was doing my own research on consoles and handhelds, trying to figure out the cheapest designs.  Of course the vast majority of DIY projects tend to range in the $60-100+ range, which…Continue

Heres a good solution, the PoGa kit.

http://shop.4dsystems.com.au/poga-portable-gaming-console/289-poga.html I recently got an email from 4dsystems, since I get some rare updates from then and found this. Its a complete kit to create a full hand held with pretty good graphic and sound capabalities for just 50. Consider if you don't need a screen and convert it into a console it could be much cheaper without the Screen. That and they give…See More

Cheap 32 bit console that's less than $5?

http://rossum.posterous.com/20131601 I recently ran accross this project and it looks very promising for developing a cheap universal computer for developing nations.  The basic parts needed add up to a couple of dollars. Previously I had menitoned the UzeBox and Fuze box model, but that costs around 100usd. Also I had found someone making a cheaper version that falls around 50usd, called the AmuzeBox However I think this project is more in…See More

A while back I was doing my own research on consoles and handhelds, trying to figure out the cheapest designs.  Of course the vast majority of DIY projects tend to range in the $60-100+ range, which is too much to say the least. However I think there's a lot of promise in the concept behind the FUZEbox, UZEbox and possible cheaper versions. There are a bunch of tools, docs and specs for it, you can find out more here on the UZEbox. Now it could be…See More

Math based RPG concept

When I came across this project, I thought it would be interesting to create my own NES game for this system. I've long been a fan of it and enjoy a good challange. The 3 color per 8x8 tile is a new one for me.So first thing I did beside reading up on nBasic was play around with a few of the sprites I've made for previous games of mine. The one that faired the best, and seemed like the easist game to make was an RPG I created a long while back(maybe 10 years ago) for VERGE.Lately I've been…See More
