Playzing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Playzing is a portable entertainment device featuring a built-in oven.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hardware
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The Playzing has three main components:
|
|
|
|
* Raspberry Pi portable gaming device
|
|
* mini toaster oven
|
|
* custom-built gamepad
|
|
|
|
The toaster is a commercial mini toaster oven which is modified to have a Raspberry Pi and screen attached to the top of it. The gamepad is built to connect directly to the Raspberry Pi's digital input pins.
|
|
|
|
The [builder's manual](doc/Playzing_builder's_manual.md) has details on how to build the Raspberry Pi gaming device and attach it to the toaster.

Launcher
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The code for launching games on the device is tracked by this repository. The launcher can run on any system, but it is intended to run on Raspberry Pi Lite OS when being used with the standard Playzing device.
