TeleBall - Retro Handheld Game Console
======================================

Build your own Arduino based retro handheld game console.
![DeviceInHand](doc/images/intro_breakout.jpg)

This repository contains the [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) source code
for TeleBall's project website and documentation:
[http://sy2002.github.io/TeleBall](http://sy2002.github.io/TeleBall)
What is TeleBall?
-----------------

TeleBall is a handheld game console. You cannot buy it. You need to build it
by yourself. It lets you play **BreakOut** in single-player mode using one
device and **Tennis for Two** in multi-player mode using two devices
communicating via radio.

TeleBall is pretty retro and very minimalistic: It features an
8x8 pixel LED matrix display, a paddle as game controller and one button.
Therefore, the range of possible games is limited but you will be surprised
how much fun and even zenlike meditation this kind of gameplay can bring you,
particularly when you play Tennis for Two with a friend.

About this GIT Repository
-------------------------

This repository contains everything you need to build your own TeleBall
device:

* CAD .stl and .cmb.gz data for your 3D printer or for any online 3D print
shop to 3D print the TeleBall case

* Eagle PCB layout for any online PCB manufacturer to make the TeleBall PCB

* Part lists and hints how to build the hardware

* Arduino source code to flash the firmware

TeleBall is made using the
[Arduino Nano platform](http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano) on a
custom PCB.

Browse TeleBall's [project page](http://sy2002.github.io/TeleBall)
for a much better documentation, including a how-to play and
how-to build guide and a bill of materials (BOM). The project page
is also available offline using `index.html` in the root folder of
this repository.

### Folder Structure

cad: CAD data for 3D printing the TeleBall case
Use ".stl" to modify the design or to create a custom output file.
Most online 3D print shops can use the ".cmb.gz" for production.
Made with FreeCad: http://www.freecadweb.org

doc: HTML documentation; use `index.html` in root folder to browse

eagle: Electronic schematic diagram including PCB layout.
The libraries.zip files are only needed, if you want to modify
anything; otherwise you can just send the ".brd" file to any
online PCB manufacturing company to receive a TeleBall PCB.
Made with the freeware version of Eagle: http://www.cadsoftusa.com

src: Arduino source code aka Sketch in the subfolder "TeleBall".
Compile and upload it to your device using Arduino's IDE. You need
to install the libraries from libraries.zip first, before being
able to compile. The "archive" folder contains historic versions.
Made with Arduino: http://arduino.cc/de/Main/Software

The Makers
----------

TeleBall is brought to you by

* [sy2002](http://www.sy2002.de): idea, code and original circurit design
* doubleflash: additional circurit design and board layout
* lamags: body housing/case

TeleBall was designed, built and released as an Open Source / Open Hardware
project during August 2014 and January 2015.

TeleBall is a project of
[MEGA - Museum of Electronic Games & Art](http://www.m-e-g-a.org).

We are looking forward to hearing from you. Email to sy2002 at teleball.org

Switch to the [TeleBall Master Repository](https://github.com/sy2002/TeleBall)
to work with the official release package that is including the rendered
HTML version of this documentation.
