Proto-buino

I couldn't wait for my gamebuino to arrive and I built this little prototype. Just the basics: Screen, buttons and buzzer. It's all I need for now.

It was fun building it! But It'll be more fun to develop some games. :)

hi juande, looks great

u do seem to have so problems with the buttons, u may want to consider soldering up a controler of some sort with protoboard

cant wait to see some games of you

Actually it was a problem with a cable that I was moving while pressing the buttons. Now it's fixed. Although sometimes some push buttons pop out too while using it, it's fine for testing purposes. ;)

Looks good, where did you get the screen?

Looks great, well done!
Your screen contrast seem to be a little to high, you can adjust it in settings.c
It's awesome to see how eager you are :)

Awesome! My buttons were popping out as well, I solved it by applying a tiny bit of solder along each leg.

That's an interesting looking Arduino and break-out board you've got there, what are they?
