CLOUDUBOY HAPPENS
Clouduboy
the cloudUBOY editor prototype
follow updates: @clouduboy
- Cloud-based editor, built (almost) entirely in JS & web technologies
- Use any browser, any device!
- Create, share, flash Arduboy games, or practically any Arduino sketch
-
Future features:
- Sharing: easily share, flash games
- Offline: host it off a RPi/Tessel!
@slsoftworks
but why?! A POCKETFUL OF RETRO
Basic C/C++ is not all that different
(if one knows JavaScript, mostly just "inconvenient")
Use JS+web technologies to edit, flash or build your own tools!
@slsoftworks
The arduboy undressed

Open-source Library
open-source games
open-source fun🎉
SO WHAT's MAYBE THE SINGLE MOST
CROSSEST-Platformiest
thing out there..?
the web
that's right
(a subset of) JS IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO C++
arduboy.drawBitmap(turret_position-5, gamearea_h-8, turret, 9,6, WHITE);
canvas.drawImage(turret , turret_position-5, gamearea_size-8);
HTML5 / JS
Arduino / C++
But why?
Happy Code Friends
getting into coding
Unleashing the inventor
getting into HARDWARE
What's next?
Disconnect
putting the offline dino offline fo' realz!
HTML, CSS!
make use of CSS, declarative animations etc.
Wanna help?
