altoid tins

Post by Dark Lord »

i saw G-force's altoid game and i have a few altoid tins around myself and
was thinking of putting tetris in one for a simple project that i can play in school. i was also thinking of a small universal tv remote to turn the volume up etc. without anybody noticing anything.

Any other ideas for stuff to shove in an altoid tin

I think it would be cool if you put a cell phone in an Altoids tin. It seems like a perfect size for the job. That remote idea seems preety sweet too. gannonbanned look at G-force's website.

BTW, I never thought of this until now, but is G-force george force :?:

Anyway, You could put a NOAC in there and build your controls. It would have to be plugged into a TV, and you could possibly have a cartridge slot on it. :idea:

the only problem with a NOAC is that i would have to fit a screen in the tin although with a little work i might be able to place a small screen in the cover. If i couldnt fit a screen in it i might as well hook it up with some cables to play on my tv. Does anybody know about those Plug N' Play things because i might place one of those into a new case and it would be simple to hook up a screen to them

You could also make it an mp3 player.

I think one of those 'Atari' keychain games would barely fit with a hipgear screen.
