What Is Arduboy on POOM?

Learn how POOM supports Arduboy-style games, controls, display behavior, and the open-source handheld game ecosystem.

Arduboy is a tiny, open-source game console built around a 128×64 monochrome screen, a directional pad, and A/B buttons. Its community has created many small games and released their source code so people can learn from them, modify them, and bring them to new hardware.

POOM has the same compact screen format and familiar six-button layout. By adapting Arduboy games for POOM, the device can become a pocket-sized console with arcade, action, puzzle, adventure, and experimental community games.
