NOTE:we had putten so much time to this project (as you can see from the first devlog) but we hadnt captured it in an time lapse(im stupid i know) so the number of hours isnt right, it is more but im just saying that we built this from scrach (exept the laptop,wheel ect.) DYI arcade gaming machine that plays an self made game,has rgb,speakers and uses and old laptop running linux mint. It is controlled by an steering wheel because the game is an racing game.

We did an MASSIVE map rewamp featuring humans who cheer for you, gas stations, red and blue fire, new plants and structures. In real life we added an ventilation system so the machine wouldnt overheat(the system now has an air filter and an fan) and we also added an wooden chair so you can play and sit, we also added an mechanic where you can press an button and the pov swiches so you can see begind the car, we added an new text blink in the press any button to start screen. We secured the black box around the screen. We added an lap system so you have to go 3 laps before winning. We also changed the boost text to english.

We added an working door mechanism so the doors can actually close and stay shut(the steering wheel was blocking the doors),we also painted the arcade gaming machine from places that were not painted or the paint had gotten damaged. We finally got the controller support to work and now all the buttons are working and the game is now playable and an bit easier because of the steering wheel(yay) we also cable managed and added an antenna to the back but its only for decoration.

We remowed the existing joystick and speakers and replased them with an steering wheel and put an speaker inside the mashine so the sound quality is better, we added an sticker to the steering wheel and goed outside to get two rocks that we will put inside the mashine so it wouldnt be wobbly and unstable. We also added an new support for the laptop so it wouldnt fall,in the next devlog we will probably add controller support for the steering wheel and paint the places that dont have paint

Me and @suklaasukkulayt made an arcade gaming mashine using an old laptop,logitech speakers that use an aliexpress amplifier c64 mini controller, rgb strip, coin slot, artwork all around the case that are an space invaders alien and an car the machine plays an unity racing game that @suklaasukkulayt made that has an opponent,an large map, checkpoints, an boost button(B), an start menu,an restart button, one level and music. the case has two opening doors that lead to the storege where all of the cables are. The rgb strip is located at the back of the machine. The case is made using an cardboard box and tape that have been painted with black paint. This project would have not been possible without @suklaasukkulayt so an massive thanks to him.

The doors have an coin slot for payment. The machine runs an self made unity game that is controllable with the joystick and the project was made with @suklaasukkulayt
