Hi Folks,

First of all I want to get it clear I'm not a Trekkie, I just happen to like Sci-Fi and gadgets.

Now when I had a PDA with windows mobile on it, I went mad looking for applications and stupid stuff I could throw onto it. And one of them daft apps was a tricorder emulator. Basically you had the tricorder screen and audio effects that played when you pressed various on screen buttons. And I thought this would be very easy to make a version for the Wiz.

So my question is: Is anyone interested and should I bother? There's no point to it whatsoever and is just a bit of fun. I could even have it giving random analyzations :D

Clare.

Haha, if you'd do something like that, why not make a codec screen ;D THAT would be awesome.

the sad thing is that this will probably be coded and polished before anyone touches a Gameboy emulator for the wiz. xD

Now, if you could make the power LED fire lasers........

I will see what I can do, I just need to write a software optical cavity to direct the beam from the power LED.... :D

Speaking of LED, is it possible to change the color?

Vault is way better than Mountain Dew though, pick up a bottle of that the next time you run by a QuikTrip.

Oh yes, I started writing it, here's a sneak preview:

Tricorder1.jpg


Scan button fires of a scan sample. up down buttons beep, all 3 buttons light up when pressed. little arrows move up and down slowly, faster when scanning. the up down arrow buttons will select different scanning modes.

I haven't uploaded it yet as I want to at least have some scanning results happening :D
