DIY Arcade machine

Fourth devlog. Massive game update! We updated the map with more stuff, people, gas pumps, flowers and fire. We also changed the boost text’s language to english, made the start text blink, added a lap system and made it so you can also look backwards. For the machine we added a ventilation system(right now it isn’t the best though) and put back the box around the screen. We also put a wooden chair that I made in school so you can sit while you play. Really great. Next devlog I will probably add a second level or something. Made with @Makkonen

Third devlog. We added more artwork and finished painting. We made it possible to close the door again because the racing wheel was blocking it. Controller (wheel) now works properly. We added an useless antenna to the back for no reason. Made with @Makkonen

Second devlog of this project. First we removed the c64 mini joystick and the speakers. We replaced them with a racing wheel (i forgot that i had one) and the spekers we replaced with the elements and front casing of an old bluetooth speaker for better sound quality (still using the PAM8403 aliexpress amp). We also stabilized the laptop more so it won’t fall. We had to make more holes for the power button but we will fill them in the next devlog. We also added an useless cable and a warning sticker to the back for no reason. Made with @Makkonen

I made an arcade machine with @Makkonen . It has an old laptop, old logitech pc speakers(with aliexpress amplifier), c64 mini controller, rgb strip, coin slot, artwork (space invanders and a car) and a lot of cardboard, paint and tape. The game it plays is a racing game that i made in unity in a a coding class and modified for more arcade feeling (for example, added start screen). The game has an opponent, boost button(in the bottom left corner), start screen, restart button, checkpoints(win condition) and music. In future updates there will be more levels(currently it only has one). Also the game is really hard with the c64 mini joystick. I will add future devlogs when i finish the painting because when we ripped some off the tape (to open the doors), it ripped also some of the tape off.
Also we basically finished this project before realising that we need to record a timelapse. Thanks @Makkonen for helping me with this!
