Hist0rian@6502B Outstanding work! The attention to detail is absolutely incredible. Any plans on possibly selling these? I’d be more than happy to throw money your way. lol
Jimmy Angelakos 
@6502B that is SO. COOL.
Brett Elliff@6502B I don't suppose this will be purchasable at some point?
グレェ「grey」@6502B impressive! Something about the blinkenlights above the WOPR lettering remind me of Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle if he were instead an angry LED spirit instead of a flame spirit.
Binder🅅@6502B I want a 704 and a CM-5
Karl Gutwin@binder @6502B Adafruit (@adafruit) published some instructions on how to build your own CM-1 complete with customizable blinkenlights: https://learn.adafruit.com/little-connection-machine
Evi SnowMew@6502B this… this is awesome!

David Crooks 🏳️🌈@6502B this is the greatest thing I have ever seen
A:\kiteless.exe /BLM@6502B hell... I want a whole line of these... 💳 💳 💳 💳 💳 💳 💳 💳 💳

Art of Zod@6502B How about a nice game of Chess? 🤖
Karl Auerbach@6502B The movie was quite close to reality. I worked on real systems with real huge wall displays of the world showing nuclear wars (fortunately simulated) in real time. But our computers were IBM 360/75s, not IBM 407 accounting machines.
Pepijn Schmitz@6502B
Amazing!
Amazing!
EddiKat@6502B Very cool!
Tony Wells@6502B
Yes, I WOULD like to play a game!
Awesome.

Nigel Moss 🌻@6502B "It's drawing more and more power from the rest of the system" 🙂
Gene Hill@6502B doggone it, i'd piss on a sparkplug if I could have something like that : )
Sven@6502B somehow that shape still looks like a small sci-fi shunting locomotive to me :D
QuirkyMarc@6502B It's beautiful! Put a RaspberryPI in there, connect it to to the internet, and run https://github.com/abs0/wargames on it 😉
adriancantrill@6502B i don't think i've seen anything more awesome so far in 2023
Gavin Volure’s Peanut Butter@6502B I don’t even know what the heck this is but I effen love it.
Daniel AJ Sokolov@6502B Some want a Whopper, others :_) prefer a WOPR. :-)
@6502B You're stuff is wild!
Eric Jennings@6502B I love this so much. Thanks for sharing it.

@6502B Where's the 300 baud modem?
Lee Uber@6502B "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."
Freeman Crouch@6502B will you have these for purchase? i'm not going to lie, I'm having a 'take my money' moment with this.
malducin@6502B amazing!
mytwobits01@6502B Very cool!
What took longer: assembling the thing, or programming the LEDs?
@mytwobits01 Designing the PCBs so that it fit 1:12 scale, and assembling everything. The programming is not that complex, I drive the LEDs like a screen, displaying animation frames. Copying the movie light animation pattern took a few days of frame per frame analysis tho
geekdolanYes.... Yes. Good.
Peter Kahn🏳️⚧️🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️🌈@6502B you left in the back door right? Really nice work btw.

Norm Tovey-Walsh@6502B That is fabulous!
Carsten@6502B awwwww!

Ok, that's amazing! I didn't believe it was a physical model until I saw you placing things on top.
Also, why don't I remember WOPR having a face?
gnate@6502B May I humbly suggested a scale model of The Internet
https://theitcrowd.fandom.com/wiki/The_Internet
https://theitcrowd.fandom.com/wiki/The_Internet
The Internet
The "Internet" was a small black plastic box with a tiny red light on top, given to Jen by Roy and Moss as a joke for her employee of the month speech, which she offered to allow Roy and Moss contribute towards. They agreed, by using the "Internet". The reason for the existence of this comical device was to make Jen's speech an unforgettable moment for Roy and Moss. Including such 'facts' that the "Internet" belonged on top of the Big Ben where it had the 'best reception'. Everyone in...
Tom Martinek@6502B That’s awesome! Great job!
yakkoj 🦊@6502B as a fan of blinkenlights and having had my first military duty assignment be ICBM-adjacent, I think this is awesome!
But the General is definitely going to have to trust *this* WOPR (or change his measurement of how much he'd trust a thing he could definitely throw ;o)
sam@6502B I’d like to try and make a version of this for the Pimoroni Galactic Unicorn. Any change you’re able to share your display animation code as a starting point, or am I going to have to do this…
@samedwards I originally made the animation in a excel sheet, I could share that. But keep in mind, my leds are simplified from the movie, the pattern is inspired by the movie animation, not 1 to 1 at all. Also I have sets of 4-8-4-8-4-8-4 onstead of 4-16-4-16-4-16-4 horizontally on the real WOPR
Martin Schoenbacher@6502B don't let any teenagers near it!

@6502B Beyond cool!
My first NAS was named Joshua, then my Tesla (purchased before Elon went full Space Karen), now my 7 month old son is named Joshua. All named after this awesome machine! 😍🤖
