Seeing as though this comp was buried beneath other new comps (Mockup Blitz, and that playthough one) i'm extending this comp for another week. Sad really.

Well the reason I'm not entering is because I really can't come up with anything. I've been looking at the shape for atleast 5 or 10 min but I just don't get any good idea. $:-\$

Indie Boy · Thu 18/10/2007 12:58:29

I feel the same as Buckethead really. What is with the rectangle shape on the right? I could work with something with the left shape(s) I suppose, but I think the shape on the right throws me.

Maybe its just too big a space to colour in $:-\$

Brad Newsom · Thu 18/10/2007 22:34:31

Has any of you thought of the shape on the right being a comic cell or an area to demonstrate a scene of what the gadget does?

Oh alright, only if you let me use a weird pallette

Well, while I'm already practising my pixeling skills, I might give this a go. Spot reserved... probably.

Buckethead · Fri 19/10/2007 15:15:00

ohh noes! It's a bom!

zabnat · Fri 19/10/2007 15:26:06

I'm sorry for the lameness. 8+1

Akatosh · Fri 19/10/2007 15:57:46

I'm pretty sure that's more than 24 colors, Mr. BuckÃ©thead.

Buckethead · Fri 19/10/2007 16:17:52

I don't know where you base that on but it should be exactly 24 colours or 25 with the BG, but I think it's 24.

Akatosh · Fri 19/10/2007 16:26:21

Eep, I just recounted... replace everything I said before with praise on your awesome choice of palette.

The steps are different for Coca-Cola brand machines. I believe it's something like:

1. Press button #4
2. Press button #2
3. Press button #3
4. Press button #1
5. Hack machine's 'vending mechanism test' (where applicable)
6. If applicable go to step 7. Else pay up cheapskate.
7. Enjoy!

Yeh but on most machines the main options are disabled unless the door is open, the ones at my college you can only check two things, i think its sales and temprature.
Pretty useless as you cant change price, coin dump, get free can etc.

thats where i got the idea from

Sorry for being a little late, almost forgot about this. Been busy at work all day on the 24th. Now the winners!

First Place goes to Ben304 for using an interesting but quite useful device. It actually reminds me of the museum entrance on one of the Futurama episodes where only rich people can walk in. This metal detector like device prevents poor people from walking in. haha

Second Place goes to Mr. Buckethead for making something visually pleasing and keep it under 24bit.

Third Place goes to u1bd2005 for the humorous coca cola machine myth...well at least I wish hacking would be that easy.

Fourth place goes Dualnames for being his first comp.
