NanoBoy Game Development Library for Arduino

The NanoBoy Library is an open-source C++ library developed by Mikrotronics Pakistan to make embedded systems programming fun, visual, and beginner-friendly.

Designed for the NanoBoy handheld console — based on the Arduino Nano, OLED display, buttons, buzzer, and LED — this library allows students, teachers, and hobbyists to create complete games and user interfaces with just a few lines of code.

The NanoBoy Library abstracts complex hardware interactions into simple, readable functions that handle:

• Display graphics: Draw lines, circles, rectangles, text, sprites, and tile maps.

• Input control: Read and debounce buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B).

• Sound output: Play tones and short melodies through the buzzer.

• LED and feedback: Light up events or collisions for game response.

• Sprite and collision system: Simplify game logic and animations.

• Text utilities: Print numbers, strings, and formatted data easily.

With the NanoBoy Library, you can develop:

• Classic games such as Pong, Snake, Breakout, and Space Invaders

• Puzzle and educational apps

• Interactive demos and custom dashboards

Fully compatible with Adafruit SSD1306 and Adafruit SH1106 OLED displays, it automatically adapts to both 0.96-inch and 1.3-inch screens via compile-time configuration.

The NanoBoy Library is free for personal and educational use, with all examples open to modify, share, and learn from.
