Hi.
I am looking for an affordable DIY shield to allow students to play Make Code Arcade games at school. Does anyone have a schematic diagram and recommended colour screen? I have some electronics ability but no formal training.
I have looked at the commercial offerings but these are just too expesive.
Thanks.
Hello @FatCat970 ,
There are many tutorials MakeCodes website offers. The shell however might be a bit more of a challenge. Amazon has some bartop shells that you could put a monitor and raspberry pi in.
Shells are very expensive the cheapest one I could find was on Amazon. But you’ll save much more money making it yourself.
The Amazon link I found:
The MakeCode tutorial on how to make the shell:
If you’re looking for controls I’d recommend these:
1 Player
2 Player
By the way EG starts Amazon shop I always use for stuff like this. I highly recommend checking them out if the buttons I showed you aren’t what you’re looking for.
