Fünf Jahre später entwickelten Rolf van Widenfelt und Mitch Altman das zweifarbige „<a href="http://www.mignonette-game.com/">Mignonette Game</a>“ das sich freundlicher Weise mit einem Link auf der Homepage ganz klar auf dass Mignon Game Kit bezieht. Kurz darauf konnte ich mit dem "Mignon Game Kit 2.0" das erste Game Kit herausbringen das mit einer Open Source Plattform programmiert werden konnte.<span style=""> </span><br /><br />Unmittelbar danach veröffentlichte „Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories“ das „<a href="http://evilmadscience.com/tinykitlist/100-meggyjr">Meggy Jr RGB</a>“ Game Kit. Dieses sieht dem Mignon Game Kit zum verwechseln ähnlich. Leider blendet<span style=""> </span>es historische wie kulturelle Hintergründe aus und verweist auch in keiner Form auf das "Mignon Game Kit". Das "Meggy Jr RGB" ist mit mehr Bildpunkten ausgestattet, bietet RGB Leuchtdioden und verschiedene Acryl Gehäuse. Wie das "Mignon Game Kit 2.0" läst es sich über die Open Source Plattform „<a href="http://arduino.cc/">Arduino</a>“ programmieren. Die Komplexität und der Preis machen das „Meggy Jr RGB“ zu einem guten Produkt für fortgeschrittene Elektronikbastler.<br /><br />Jetzt im Jahr 2009 bringt „ELO“ den „Retrogame-Bausatz“ mit den Namen „<a href="http://www.elo-web.de/neu-im-shop/franzis-ping-pong">Franzis Ping-Pong</a>“ auf den Markt. Dieses professionell vermarktete Produkt wird zu einem niedrigen Preis angeboten. Das plakative Zitieren von „Pong“ arbeitet oberflächlich mit der Computerspiel Geschichte. Das „Franzis Ping-Pong“ ist als reiner Löt-Bausatz konzipiert und bietet keinen Einstig in die Programmierung. Leider sind bei diesem Game Kit die meisten Bauteile bereits vorgelötet, was wichtige Lernprozesse zunichte macht. Als originelles Detail ist das „Franzis Ping-Pong“ mit einem Münzeinwurf versehen, der das Spiel startet.<br /><br />Hier findet man nützliche Hintergrundinformationen, die Hilfestellung leisten um das „Franzis Ping-Pong“ selbst zu programmieren:<a href="http://www.elo-web.de/elo/entwicklung-und-projekte/ping-pong"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> http://www.elo-web.de/elo/entwicklung-und-projekte/ping-pong</span></a> Es ist mit BASCOM AVR programmiert. Diese Software ist nicht open source! BASCOM AVR gibt es nur für Windows und kostet 55,- Euro. Zudem braucht man einen ISP-Programmer. Hierzu empfiehlt sich der "AVRISP mkII" (ca 35,- Euro). Minimalsittiche ISP Programmer zum selbst bauen haben keinen USB Anschluss und funktionieren nicht zuverlässig mit jedem Computer. Mit BASCOM AVR erlernt man einen merkwürdige Computersprache (eine Basic Dialekt), die sich nicht auf andere Bereiche übertragen lässt.<br /><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Das <a href="http://www.mignongamekit.com/">Mignon Game Kit</a> hat sich bis jetzt tausendfach in vielen Workshops bewährt. Es ist preiswert und die Technik ist sehr anschaulich und verständlich. Darüber hinaus knüpft das begleitende Buch wertvolle Brücken zur digitalen Spielgeschichte und findet auf diesem Weg einen spannenden Einstig in die Programmierung. Über den „Extensions“ Anschluss bietet das "Mignon Game Kit" eine Schnittstelle für weitere Elektronikexperimente. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443030868081075046.post-50445569287897799262009-11-20T21:50:00.003+01:002009-11-20T21:56:48.119+01:00Mignon Game Kit is offert at "Galerie auf Zeit"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SwcCUsj_pKI/AAAAAAAACJo/327hj_khKFw/s1600/GalerieAufZeit_02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The aim of the game is to avoid contact with other dotts while it goes faster and faster. You control your little dott with the up and down button (with your left hand). In the beginning you have got 5 lifes. Every contact with other dotts cost one life. But it is also possible to win a life by shooting on the brighter dotts.</p> <p><span id="more-162"></span></p> <p>You shoot by pressing the A button. ATTENTION! Even the bright dotts will cost you a life if you crash into them! The brighter you are the more lifes you have. If you start blinking slownly you have got 6 lifes. If you are blinking fast you have reached the maximum of 7 lifes. Any more shooting is just for fun, but you should concentrate on your movement now. In the end you get a feedback: the number of dotts and the frequenz of the tone show you which speedlevel you reached.</p> <p>If you like to change the map or make it longer you simply have to change the upper part of the program. The part after “<em>uint8_t frame[5][Laenge] PROGMEM ={</em>“ is the map. Every 0 turns a light off, a 1 stands for a darker dott and a 15 is an bright aim which will give you a point if you shoot at it. ATTENTION! If you change the map you have to make shure that you have 5 rows and you have to count your collums and if neccesary change the value after „<em>#define Laenge</em>“ in the line above. It is also important that the last 7 collums are exactly like the first seven are.</p> <p>Hope you enjoy it!</p><p>You can download the Arduino File <a href="http://groups.google.de/group/mignon-game-kit/web/skywalker.pde?hl=de">hier</a>.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><object height="299" width="400"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3513068&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff002f&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3513068&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff002f&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="299" width="400"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/3513068">SkyWalker 1.0</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user399822">olafval</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br /></p><p></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443030868081075046.post-42911767561392866762009-02-18T17:37:00.003+01:002009-09-30T17:14:38.008+02:00The Handbook is 70% finished<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SZw6S-dM7iI/AAAAAAAABPg/gVEh6AonwKU/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 206px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SZw6S-dM7iI/AAAAAAAABPg/gVEh6AonwKU/s400/Picture+2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304178558813138466" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Still all energise goes to the hand book, there will be a beta version next week.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443030868081075046.post-61591073232663144152009-02-18T17:15:00.003+01:002009-02-18T17:33:34.833+01:00A Visual programming tool for Arduino<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SZw4GOqqDbI/AAAAAAAABPQ/wQzl8qDliew/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 258px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SZw4GOqqDbI/AAAAAAAABPQ/wQzl8qDliew/s400/Picture+4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304176140802985394" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SZw4GRm3DfI/AAAAAAAABPY/zp2YxQ38VOw/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zRwxQhOo32A/SZw4GRm3DfI/AAAAAAAABPY/zp2YxQ38VOw/s400/Picture+3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304176141592366578" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />On the "Erfinder-Workshop" at the FH Potsdam Heidi Schelhowe presented "Eduwear", which comes with a visual programming interfaces for Arduino.

Workshop for adults and teenagers (age 10+).<br /><br />The “Mignon Game Kit” is a kitset which enables a minimalist “Gameboy” to be individually designed, programmed and constructed. The Workshop enable advanced learners to invent and programme their own games. In this way the do-it-yourself console of the “Mignon Game Kit” provides not only the opportunity for basic experiments with micro-electronics for first time users but can also be used as a platform for individual computer games. As opposed to conventional Gameboys the user develops a personal relationship to his device through the processes of self-production and individually determined programming.<br /><br />One Game Kit (workshop version) costs 20,- Euro<br /><br />Equipment (solder irons, computers, USB-Programmer, etc. ) can by supplied by.<br /><br />For programming we use the easy to use open source tool "Arduino"! (A GNU C++ compiler for micro controllers under a nice skin.)<br /><br />The Mignon Game Kit 2.0 comes along with a library and a guiding slide show.<br /><br />Pleas contact me for further details! <a href="mailto:mignonservice@googlemail.com"><b>mignonservice@googlemail.com</b></a><br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">Bau Dein eigenes Computerspiel!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Einfacher geht es nicht: Ein Display, sechs Tasten, ein Lautsprecher und ein Mikrokontroller werden auf eine Platine gelötet. Fertig! Ohne Vorkenntnisse kann hier jeder ein richtiges Computerspiel bauen und mit nach Hause nehmen. Elektronische Spiele lassen sich nicht nur konsumieren. Wenn man selbst Hand anlegt, wecken sie kreative Energie. Mit Materialien aus dem Baumarkt kann das eigene Game wahlweise mit einem Gehäuse versehen werden oder man verändert sogar den Programmcode des Spieles. Dabei werden erste Hemmschwellen gegenüber der Technik überwunden. Das Medium Computerspiel wird entmystifiziert.

We where very happy to find such a friendly PCB assembler close-by. Mr. Endtricht showed us all the different production techniques and we where very fascinated when he demonstrated his SMD assembling robot. Now we are going to produce MIGPROG in ready to use SMD version.
