Pimp my Adirondack Chair!

Post by Super Cameraman »

I'm going to a day camp this week where we're building Adirondack chairs. (This is an Adirondack chair)
Image

I'm making the back of mine shaped like the Pacman ghost, the bottom where you sit, Pacman, the arms with Pacman and the ghosts chasing him... ect ect ect. So I thought, "What if I used my non-existent portablizing skills to put a Pacman Plug N Play in the arm of the chair!"

Whould this be a good idea? I have an Intec screen pad and nothing to do with it. I fried my NOAC. (More like burnt my NOAC but whatever) The joystick would stick out of the arm, and the screen would be on the opposite arm, on any angle so I can see it.

What do you think? How cool would that be when it's done?

Okay, cool. Where can I find a Pacman Plug N Play? I checked everywhere I can think of and they're either not there or out of stock. (Or... really expensive.) I'm looking for that Namco 5-in-1... Or the Super Pacman one. (The Namco one is Ms Pacman...)

Target, Walmart, and even gamestores (but more expensive here) all carry them. I saw one in target just yesterday (And a GOAC, which I almost bought...)

I'll have to go there soon then...

Here's what the art is going to look like. Hopefully I can paint it...

Broken link? It works fine for me... It's an image not a link, too.

Oh, and thanks!

(Title changed)

Well, I've hit a few major/minor snags.

1. My mom says this chair has to stay outside. That means either waterproof electronics or easily removable electronics.

2. The Pacman Plug N Play is oddly shaped. Here's a picture. My first idea was to have a hole in the arm of the chair and the game underneath with the joystick sticking out. The second picture is what the game really looks like. I can't chop off the fake TV thing because the batteries and the mobo are in it... So I'm going to make a cupholder type design so the plug N Play just rests in the arm. Not under.

Image

So I guess snag 2 solves snag 1!

Wish me luck!

EDIT: Actually my mom says it can stay in the garage... But that's no fun!

I have one of those plug-and-play things, I think there are just batteries in that thing that rises up, so that could be moved.

No, I took it apart and there's the batteries and an important looking circuit board. I think it might be important...

Or (if there's enough room) move the circuit board.

You could just keep the stock case though. No doubt it would be easier to replace if you accidentally broke it or something…
