I found the time to build two installations for the ENIAROF Video Arcade.

Space Invaders (pour manchots), Douglas Edric Stanley

The first is a reprise of my 2001 Invaders! program that I made subsequent to the World Center Crash. This is the Space Invaders that I projected onto buildings and let people fight back with 1000 points of light (or whatever flashlights they had lying around). In this edition, people put their feet in the right spot and defend the world from those nasty Invaders by shooting with their fingers in the air. It's sort of like air guitar, but instead its air gun or air tank. You just point and shoot with your finger and the overhead surveillance system figures out where to shoot. It's pretty wacky. Pretty quickly the public figured out that pretty much any part of their body could shoot: arms, head, butt, knee, foot, elbow. Umbrellas and other things were also apparently brought in for the effort, but I missed that.

The second installation was on a Gameboy Advance where I created a little “Générique” (credits) for the ENIAROF Video Arcade. It lists all the contributors to the arcade:

If you feel like it, you can actually download this program from the PLAY+MOBILE Website and play with it on your Gameboy Advance. I've also included source code so you can see what my code looks like when I slap it together in a couple of hours.

All the icons were created by Pierre-Erick, because he makes better icons than me.
