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 it. The gamepad is built to connect directly to the Raspberry Pi's digital input pins.
See the builder's manual for detailed instructions on how to build the entire system.
Launcher
The code for launching games is tracked by this repository. The launcher can run on any operating system, but it is intended to run on Raspberry Pi OS when being used with the standard Playzing device.
Requirements
Python and Pygame can be installed using apt on Debian Linux
> sudo apt install python3 python3-pygame
Install the launcher by cloning this repository with PGFW using --recursive
> git clone --recursive https://open.shampoo.ooo/shampoo/playzing
BiTFiT
The game BiTFiT is currently required by the launcher and is the only officially supported game. Clone the game into the empty subfolder games. Alternatively, clone the game into a separate location, and create a symlink to that location.
> cd games/
> git clone https://open.shampoo.ooo/shampoo/ibitfit
> cd ..
Start the launcher. The display can rotate by 90-degrees, but rotation is turned off by default. To turn it on, launch with rotation enabled on the command line or set rotate to yes in config.
> ./Playzing.py --config ",display,rotated,yes"
BiTFiT should launch when any key is pressed at the launcher screen.
