New Games!

The PicoBoy V3 has begun prototyping. If you have anything you would like to see, let me know in the Discord Server!

Work is being done to begin outreach with schools and maker spaces to teach programming, soldering, and electronics utilizing the PicoBoy Education Edition! If you have any maker spaces or schools that you think would be good candidates, reach out!

Hardware Updates:

• PicoBoy Education Edition has begun development and testing

PicoBoy Communication Software Updates:

• Fixed critical issue with MacOS compatibility where the program would freeze in MacOS Sequoia
• Improved algorithm speed for detecting PicoBoy consoles

Library Updates:

• New pathfinder library (Beta)

Game Updates:

New Beta Game: Puzzle Slide

• You can use the built in puzzles, or use your own stored in Paint!
• You have to slide all of the puzzle pieces into the proper orientation
• Still in development. If you have any ideas for the game, you can pitch them in the server!

New Beta Game: Pathfinder

• A pathfinder (using the new PLibrary system) solves a maze you make yourself.
• Not as developed, so still more open ended and ready for ideas.

Pac Man is being remastered with the PicoBoy SDK!

• Improved mechanics
• Vastly improved pathfinding
• More efficient memory usage
• Improved stability and compatibility

You can install and test out all three of these games, but they are UNSTABLE. Be careful, as they may cause issues on your PicoBoy.
