This is the crappiest tip/walkthrough I ever made. But I just made it work and it is late, I should sleep, and I know there will be a week before I get to even look at it again..

 

And so I thought it was more fun to share some cool crap that is quite undone, but works.. than not to share because it is crap :)

 

PS: This work was 100% inspired by Ant's work: https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/2514 It is just a spin/ripoff, but I made it so that it takes the whole alphabet, you can eter up to 30 characters, and also make "return"'s :)

Nice!

I hate that, when you know it’s bed-time because you’re falling asleep on your keyboard and you also know it’s going to be a whole six hours before you can play robots again. But A WHOLE WEEK? The torture! It’s unimaginable.

Looking forward to the vector-based font.

The font is in the code!

Very nice work!

I’m liking it. Maybe not so much the reference to goats, but the project is nice. Even the code has … techie qualities. (Reusability, etc.)

Was the code published after Sun, 2008-10-26 21:34? (Just in case anyone thinks I’m a booby-head.)

PS - “næste bogstav” is “next letter”, for anyone with a Google disability.
