Re: [LUG] Plymouth meeting on Saturday 24th Aug

 

Hi All,

I'm a total noob! Basically, I have a start-up and we have some military spec. laser pistols that are used to train the FBI, Homeland Security and a whole host of others in the US. There are also over 750 "laser-quest" style arenas in the US, with some starting to grow over here. The thing is, whilst everyone else has the big venues and loads of weapons, my friend and I just have two of the pistols because they're awesome, and we're skint ha ha! But yeah, the pistols have full-on recoil and are as close to a real Glock 19 as you can get. They're amazing fun to fire. We have therefore designed and built our own targets and designed a bunch of games and a UI for a raspberry pi. But, we keep having "coders" let us down with the help that they promise! My friend Korrin has been trying to learn it all herself for months and months and is now just stuck with this new UI. She got the targets working well on their own but we are just stuck now. We're supposed to have it all up and running before the students get back as we are based upstairs in the Roundabout, or rather our events will be. Sooooo, we are desperately trying to find people who can help us and would want to get involved and obviously we'll let them play for free. But - we want to kinda learn it as we go too. We want people who want to get involved as we have loads of other awesome games in mind; we don't want to just pay some random coder who we'll probably never meet, who doesn't care about the fun with the pistols, as this seems like a waste to us.

So - could we possibly come along and join you guys on Saturday and show you what we have and see what you think please? If not it means that I am going to have to start from scratch and just stick at it until I've learned it all and that is clearly going to take a lot longer than the month we have left to do it! It's so frustrating because we've had so many people say they would help us because everyone loves the pistols, but it's been months and months, and no-one has really, and we are running out of time and it is going to seriously affect our business :( :( :(

What do you guys think?

With thanks, and hopes!
Rob Green.

Hi All,

Is there a meet up this weekend at Moments Café?

Cheers,

Steve.

I was planning on emailing earlier but have spent most of yesterday and today up at Derriford Hospital so far.

It is my intention to be at Moments Cafe for 1200, but can't guarantee my attendance yet - kinda depends on what happens here at the hospital.

Grant. :)
