The PUP is a simple handheld console that provides the key elements of a game system – LCD screen, sound and user control – in a handy pocket sized package. It was Winner of the November 2012 PICAXE Project Prize.
The PUP is based around a 20pin PICAXE microcontroller. The current version uses the 20M2, but the pin assignment have been selected to allow an older 20M or more powerful 20X2 chip to also be used.
Several games have already been coded so far including cut-down clones of retro classics like Invaders, After-Burner and Crazy Taxi!
The apps are written in PICAXE BASIC, but to help manage the gaming and hardware elements I have also created a development tool called KodeKLIX. In addition to use as a gaming platform, it can be used for a range of other hardware / software projects, and expanded through its ports.
KodeKLIX software and manuals can be downloaded, and you can also purchase pre-assembled PUP boards, ready-to-go kits and expansions. The KodeKLIX software can also be used like AXEpad or any other third party tool for coding/programming your own PICAXE projects. Example of game editor output attached.
Enjoy!
