A ByteBoi: DIY Advanced Game Console gives you the best of both worlds, the old and new, allowing you to build your very own retro game console, code your very own games, and then get to playing. This Kickstarter-funded invention comes from CircuitMess, the people who brought you MAKERbuino, offering a reimagined version of the 8-bit educational gaming service.
ByteBoi offers various rounds of fun in one package. First, assemble your very own retro gaming console, learning all about electronics and their inner workings along the way. Then code away in Make Code Arcade, an online coding interface that offers examples and tutorials to show you how to code your very own video game. You'll even be able to animate characters yourself. And once you're done, you can connect your ByteBoi to the internet and share your cool creations. Want to take a break from creating? Don't worry, there are also pre-made games you can enjoy.
