Dartsnut, the team behind Chessnut Air and Evo, is launching Pixeldarts, a digital update to classic throwing games, set to revolutionize social gatherings. Blending retro pixel art with advanced recognition technology, Pixeldarts provides an interactive gaming experience suitable for all ages and occasions, from parties to casual play.

Advanced Recognition Technology Enhances Gameplay

Pixeldarts utilizes cutting-edge identity and position recognition to accurately track projectiles in real-time, allowing for simultaneous throws without compromising scoring accuracy. This creates a dynamic, fast-paced experience within an immersive digital environment.

Diverse Game Options for Everyone

Pixeldarts features six unique games designed for maximum fun and engagement:

  • Splash: A competition to cover the board with colored darts.
  • Hostage Rescue: A Nerf-compatible mode where players target virtual villains.
  • Bomb Defusal: A time-sensitive game requiring players to disarm virtual bombs.
  • Classic Darts Games: Traditional games like “01” and Cricket.
  • Spin the Wheel: Darts determine prizes, penalties, or surprises.
  • Mini Golf Challenge: Precision throws navigate players through mini-golf holes.

This selection, coupled with an open software ecosystem, empowers users to modify and create their own Pixeldarts experiences.

More Than Just Games: A Smart Home Display

Pixeldarts functions as a smart home display, showing time, weather, sports scores, and more, using its 128×128 pixel primary screen.

High-Performance Hardware for Smooth Play

Powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 4B with a quad-core processor and 1GB of SDRAM, Pixeldarts offers fast, responsive gameplay. Its dual-screen setup includes:

  • A primary 384×384 mm screen (128×128 pixels) with advanced projectile sensing.
  • A secondary 256×128 mm screen (64×32 pixels) for dynamic feedback and immersion.

This hardware ensures both performance and long-term reliability.
