So Excited!

Hello all

My name is Ben, I'm a Indie developer with a few simple games under my belt. Really looking forward to making some Gamebuino ports!
I've done a bit of Arduino in the past and really enjoyed the physical hands on, so the Gamebuino is the perfect combo for me, hardware and software!

Where is that post man!?! :)

Hey Dotdan,

Not all of them, but two of them. The plan is to start with Power Glove Monkey because that's a really simple concept with very little actors, for me would be a good intro into c++. I really don't want to underestimate how tricky some of this will be :) (Oh and this game would be played in portrait mode, much like Gauntlet was played on the Atari Lynx)

After that, I would love to do a simple version of sub attack because I think it would work and fit perfectly on that little lcd screen. Then once I have a better understanding over everything maybe a game like "hall of the things"... but that's a long way.

I'm also so eager to see what other people do and the other applications/purposes other than games... Fun times ahead.

What about yourself? Do you have a "gameplan"?

Thank you for the explanation.

I am going to develope a pipe game with a friend of mine in JAVA.

Pipe game being one where you need to place pipe parts to allow the water to flow within in a set time?

Correct. You have to match Point A and B with different kinds of pipes before the the water is going through it.

That reminds me of Bioshock's little minigame. Which could be hella challenging.
