GameGo

Seeed Technology's GameGo is a pocket-sized and handheld console STEM education programming tool with Microsoft MakeCode and free courses for makers and DIY hobbyists based on STM32F401RET6 from Seeed Studio Tinkergen.

As video games become more complex, a lot of effort goes into their development. Now it requires a whole team of developers and a lot of resources and time to make a video game. This handheld console provides a shortcut for STEM educators or people who just like creating retro games. It is based on the STM32F401RET6 Arm® Cortex®-M4 chip and fully supports Microsoft MakeCode, both for block programming and JavaScript.

Features

• Microsoft MakeCode Arcade compatible: a powerful programming platform
• MakeCode Arcade is a popular platform for simulating games that can be easily used through a web browser to download code to deploy on GameGo.
• Educational course materials: to get started quickly and easily
• Kids' creative thinking and hands-on skills are nurtured while they design new games or recreate ones from the past. GameGo comes with a 10-lesson online course to help users to learn the basics of making their own retro games. The course aims to guide students to understand and learn the software and hardware knowledge of game development starting with a simple game based on graphical programming, gradually deepening and iterating continuously to make a relatively complex, multi-level, and story-telling game project. The course provides a large number of game examples for students to understand the concepts and principles through improvement and optimization.
