Request for Defender CP layout details
<< < (9/11) > >>
Paul Olson:
Here is a WIP pic of the new Defender/ Stargate Layout. I still need to do the wiring, but other than that, it is done. I am taking this opportunity to test the ultralux buttons. Should be a good button smashing test. I don't have enough white buttons for a completely accurate layout, so I used the 2 blue chrome ones. Oh well.

I have to go to orientation at school tonight, so I don't know if I will finish the wiring or not, but I am going to try.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the measurements arzoo, that helped a lot.
arzoo:
Very nice!

Recently I've been playing Robotron 2084 - which could suck quarters just as fast as Defender! Both designed by Jarvis. Anyway, I set my high score yesterday - 372k. Today my son (17) tells me - I played Robotron one time. He scored 390k. Those young-ens  ::)
Paul Olson:
Here is the final product. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I really can't get a good pic of the buttons lit up with my camera. It doesn't focus well without the flash.

You can see my amazing score of 1725 in the pic.  :D ::). Wow, I really do suck at this.

arzoo - Did you actually see him get that score? Every kid I know claims to be able to get really high scores on my games. When I tell them to try it, it is always the same thing...they suck. Just curious.


edit: 4300 on my 3rd game. This is actually pretty fun!

It's there on the screen - I've compiled mame to retain hi scores. I must have played 50 games last night to try and break 390k. No luck, and now I a blister.  :hissy:
TOK:
pcolson, post your progress and learning in the Defender thread... It was going strong for a while and kind of fizzled out.

I just got back to playing mine. My AC vents out into the garage and the heat is unbearable in the summer. I wish I had tracked the number of games I played to reach certain milestones, like 50k and 100k. I'm still not very good with a high score in the 160k's, but I'm pretty good consistent 70 and 80k. My goal was to completely fill my hiscore roster with 100k+ games then post another screenshot there, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Panel looks great BTW!  :cheers:
