I dream of taking flight in an ambiguous world filled with vague clouds and shadowed air…Then I wake up and forget the whole thing

Its For Version 2


It just occurred to me: In the base station for Heek (where the 5 players plug in their controllers), I have designed a PCB that holds a 2 digit seven-segment screen (like on a clock). If the feature is turned on, then as soon as one player pushes a button to lock in their choice, the screen counts down from 10 seconds. Anyone who doesn’t make a choice before the end of the countdown is not included in the scoring for that round. This is just like it worked in Uru Live (except it was a hologram).

It just occurred to me that it should be counting down in D’ni numerals. I can guarantee that at least one person at Mysterium will notice this and say it. Its far too late to change now (heck, the PCBs are already being fabbed), but I could have instead used a dot-matrix display (like I did on the IQP) and had a font of D’ni numbers to display. I guess that will have to wait for version 2.

Also, I am officially opening the Electronics category. It will house ramblings and interesting things about electronics.
