56116 ARCADE for BBC Micro:bit and MakeCode Arcade

The Kitronik 56116 ARCADE is a handheld gaming platform designed for use with the BBC micro:bit (V2) and the MakeCode Arcade editor. Users can write their own games and run them on Arcade or download existing games. The MakeCode Arcade editor is a great way to learn to code games. It features simple snap-together blocks, allowing users to build simple games in minutes. The editor has been designed to allow everyone, from beginners to experienced game enthusiasts, to create games. All users have to do is drag and drop the blocks that snap together to form programs. Users can also write their code in Javascript and Python.

Kitronik has created a datasheet that doubles as a quick start guide. It comprises a product brief, usage information, labeled and dimensioned drawings, and an introduction to coding with the MakeCode Arcade editor.
