If only he lived long enough maybe I could see this happening.

So, I was thinking about housing the prototype kiosk in something like a PiCade with a hole for the USB port drilled in. I think the PiCade would probably be the best fit for the prototype because I would like the thing to be coin operated if the owner chooses to do so.

I could probably write a UI in C++ with SFML. I would like the interface to be as user friendly as possible. It should be able to browse the files on the kiosk and the files the user has in on the flash drive and the user can then exchange files that way. I will probably write the software and test it on a regular computer first before building the actual prototype.

I honestly don't know how long this will take. I have other things to balance in my life of course, but this is something I would love to do. And if someone wants to beat me to it, go right ahead, make money off of it, take all the credit. I don't care. I feel like this is something worth making and I don't care who does it.

They aren't freaking out about the all the debugging they have to do. They are freaking out because you are one of those people who adds the Greek Alphabet to math equations.

Added a Game Over and Title screen. Both are currently blank and are red and black respectively.

Just got one of these in the mail. Expect a review soon.

Added a basic HUD. It's just text right now, but I plan on replacing the HP text with an actual health bar.

Right now, I"m suffering from writer's block on enemy design because I can't come up with new enemy ideas. Maybe I should replay Kid Icarus for inspiration, but I don't want this to be a straight up clone of the game. I always try to come up with at least something different.

Added hearts, though you still can't see the HP.

Got somewhat of a better pattern.

Created a new type of enemy. It moves in a sine curve. Though the movement needs some tweaking if it is going to spawn in groups like this.

One pound of pure baking soda is nearly 6X cheaper than 16 oz of deodorant, so it is actually cheaper to just use baking soda as a deodorant than it is to spread toxic chemicals onto your armpits. There is literally no excuse.
