DT is fun

I don't think I have had as much fun (as well as lots of brain ache!!), as I had when completing this project. If you have heard of the 'SteamPunk' movement, then you'll know that briefly it is about taking something perhaps modern or existing and add a mad inventor or victorian theme to it. I chose to re-design - steampunk my Bop-it extreme electronic game (including fully functioning parts), this is the result!

This is a great image that captures the theme and feel of 'SteamPunk'. If you click on the image it will take you to a Flickr photostream of the author 'Vonslatt' with loads of very cool pictures.
