Where did you order the kit?

I tried it at http://nwazet.com/pix6t4 but it didn't accept my shipping address (not in the USA). I texted Fabien, he helped me out somewhere

Hi Mario,

You can get the kit from: http://nwazet.com/pix6t4

...and hacking it is totally fine with me: in fact, it is kind of the point of this console and is encouraged

Cheers,

The Google checkout settings causing this issue should no longer be a problem but if you run into difficulties, please use the contact page on the site.


Cheers,

Well, I got mine, and wrote my first game, Nom nom! Download @ http://stefan.co/ele...nics/downloads/

Nicely done, Stefan! I love it It's great to see a growing library of classic games for the console. With your permission, I'll include 'Nom Nom' in the standard PIX-6T4 distribution. Thanks, Cheers, -Fabien.

Im fascinated by the PIX 6T4 game console. The only thing holding me back from getting one is the process of learning how to get the ideas in my head onto the 64 pixels of the PIX, and interfacing with the thumbsticks. The Game Programming Tutorial by Pete Brown is a bit too advanced to start off with. I need baby steps! For example, moving a single pixel around using a thumbstick, and pressing the stick to 'drop' the pixel. How simple would this be to code? So is there a bytesized guide for getting started on the PIX 6T4?

When is the PiX6T4 book coming out?

[Fabien Royer]

The PIX-6T4 book is not quite finished yet (Bertrand and I have been insanely busy these past few months). We'll likely release what we have written so far as an open source book as soon as we can breathe a bit. Cheers, -Fabien.

Excellent! I look forward to it.
