An opportunity for someone perhaps? As the display is 20 by 23 pixels, and the technical interfacing work has already been done, it would be eminently practical for a 19x19 game. I'm not from the US of A, but large numbers of people on this forum are. Somebody might want to pick this up and run with it? |

Makes me wonder how many traffic accidents that caused. |

That's so old idea. The students at Tampere University of Technology did that already in 2007. Here's an article (in Finnish) about it: http://www.digitoday.fi/viihde/2007/12/ ... 0730910/66 e: there are also several videos on Youtube. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7TZ1RmJzE Search for "Mikontalo lights" or "Mikontalo Tetris" for more. |

In a similar vein there's the prank someone pulled of writing to the occupants of a tower block posing as the electricity company and asking the various flats to turn their lights on or off at a particular time, spelling out a certain 4 letter work across the city

So it's fortunate I didn't suggest it was an original idea. I did think the fact that the article suggests that the people in Philadelphia were actually looking for new game suggestions for this year, means they are open to ideas. So I thought it was an open door that just needs to be pushed against. An opportunity, if you will. Some people like to promote Go, to get more people to play. |
