Virtual Roku went over well with the Kokoromi’s Gamma256 project and is featured in short at the Gamma256 rundown. Unfortunately I don’t have a download available due to some weird compiling issues with the controller. I’ll most likely release a version with mouse control only.

We had a small end of the semester show a few days ago, which went very well. Amongst other things, Roku was on exhibit: both virtual and physical work in progress.

Roku Virtual had an outstanding reception. I think I may have created a few new addicts! The video game ran on my laptop for the majority of the show and got nonstop action from a variety of people. It was really great to see such positive response to the game and really see it in the hands of new fresh players for the first time.

Roku physical is coming along well. The construction of the physical cells is completed, although the electrical components haven’t been installed yet. I decided to put a satin finish on the cells, which is much nicer to the touch and won’t leave thumbprints after play.
