# Arduboy2 Library # Arduboy2 Library
The Arduboy2 library is maintained in a git repository hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/) at:
https://github.com/MLXXXp/Arduboy2
The **Arduboy2** library is a fork of the [Arduboy library](https://github.com/Arduboy/Arduboy), which provides a standard *application programming interface* (API) to the display, buttons and other hardware of the Arduino based [Arduboy miniature game system](https://www.arduboy.com/).

The name *Arduboy2* doesn't indicate that it's for a new "next generation" of the Arduboy hardware. The name was changed so it can coexist in the Arduino IDE with the current *Arduboy* library, without conflict. This way, existing sketches can continue to use the *Arduboy* library and class, without changes, while new sketches can be written (or old ones modified) to use and take advantage of the capabilities of the *Arduboy2* class and library.
