Title: Software that displays high scores?
Post by: Knievel on August 11, 2014, 11:51:22 pm

Probably been discussed before but I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

I have a dry-erase board that's LED lit for keeping track of my kids high scores right now.
Looks ok but I was thinking of having a dedicated monitor that we could display them on if the software exists.
I would mount the monitor in the wall and use a cordless mouse/keyboard to update scores..or maybe a touchscreen.

Anyone here doing something like this? Would love some input. :)

I posted the same question two weeks ago in the software forum :)

Ah yes just I found it.
I'm not looking for anything automated though. Just an interface I can input my own names and scores into.

I use a spare 19" monitor, a thin client PC, free digital signage suite and a Google Doc spreadsheet to update high scores instantly off my phone. I need to make a thread for it.
