Seeing this I have some faith that my latest lark might get some attention (not money attention, but people attention). I am going to work on a hand held text adventure play thing. Going to post the schematics on the web, I could use an aruduino but that would overshoot my small (very very small) budget. Lets see where this goes.
Please check out the Ben Nanonote -- this is just the sort of thing that it might be good for. I know that some kind of inform interpreter has been ported for it, but a nice little adventure client could be very spiffy!
I have one of these things with the latest firmware (OpenWRT linux with some modifications). It is an incredibly cool device. You actually have a keyboard that has all the stuff you need for programming (or general unixy/emaily things), a pretty nice colour display and a reasonable amount of horsepower. I like to think of it as an SGI Indy that I can put in a pocket...
Thanks for the pointer, but no this is not what I am thinking. This project is supposed to be a intermediate level electronics project. This is most probably going to have a black and white screen and an avr controller of some sort. I chose IF to implement on this because I love solving little text adventures.
