The DojoBoy console is a DIY handheld game console project based on MicroPython

The main objectives of the project are:

• Cheap and easy to make with common components (no exotic components, custom PCB or universal PCB)
• Simple assembly with reduced tooling (soldering iron, screwdriver, Dremel tool)
• Easy printing of the case (5 parts only without supports)
• Game coding easy with only MicroPython libraries (no custom C codes, orginal MicroPython image based)
  • v 1.0 : All In One library
  • v 2.0 (WIP): Module with libraries (multiple objects) : object oriented coding, vector methods, extended features...
