\nAmong others in this interview Ralph Baer talks about the Simon game<\/a> which he also invented (like how he had chosen the tunes is rather funny to hear). The Simon game can be played also online <\/a>. Or you built your own electronic one with e.g. the kit from Make.<\/a> Make is also bringing out a Controller kit in august<\/a>, programmable in Java and the processing library. Other famous controllers (at least in the Media art community :)) are of course the Arduinio board<\/a> and the older community project AID<\/a>, which is a bit struggling. A more advanced board is the one of the german computer zine c’t<\/a>, which is rather a whole bot<\/a> than just a board with a few sensors. If you are too lazy to solder yourself or need a starter then there is also a robust little bot<\/a> from the bavarian company qfix (programmable in c++). If you speak german than a canonical forum to use is the DIY-robot forum roboternetz<\/a> . OK thats enough from the geek today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
