Finished building my 2nd DDR pad, making a last minute adjustment, seen here:

But, onto what the topic is about.. I've also finished overhauling my first DDR pad!

Anyway, I'm pretty stoaked about it. :nervous: Had to share. :) ;)

So.... these objects double your data rate?

No, but it's a dance. A dance revolution...

Only if you dance twice as fast.
Mosh Mosh Revolution!
Great bit of construction Ulala, very cool. :nod:
-
Haha, believe me, it's far from dancing. But it's certainly fun and a good work-out! I've never really built anything in my whole life, so I'm pretty proud of them. :)
-
Now build a Shivan version with 25 glowing squares :D
-
Oh geeze.. :shaking: :p
-
You have way too much time on your hands man.......
-
Neh, doesn't actually take long to build one. I could probably build on in a day, maybe two, if I just sat down and did it. Besides, they're great for parties. :nod:

:wtf:

:wtf:
Oh come now, some people spend some of their time on drawing, art, sculpting, running, singing, and what have you. I spend some of my time on DDR and pad building. I guess I shouldn't have expected any pats on the back or "nice looking pad!" responses.. :doubt:
-
Hey Ulala? Nice looking pad! ;)
No seriously, I used to play a lot on these things when I was in high school. Haven't been on one since - I think they require a degree of fitness to use properly. :D Where do you get the parts from?

For most people I've noticed that DDR looks like something you'd feel stupid playing, it's only when you have a go at it you realise how much fun it is.

Do you use that with a PC?

All I wanted to know was what the hell Dance Dance Revolution is! Assume I've never seen any explanatory commercials for it (which is true). In my shoes, wouldn't YOU go :wtf:?

I actually thought you were joking Sandwich, I figured everyone knew what DDR is.

LoL.
True dedication Ulala! :lol:

Thanks, Maeg. ;) Now I know more than I want to. :p

I'm impressed. Now build one that covers the entire floor, and where you can control various electrical devices (TV, lights, etc) through the appropriate funky dance patterns.

Thanks. They're both made out of plywood, some fiberboard, sheet metal (stainless steel or aluminum, whichever is cheaper at the time), the contacts are made with 26 ga. galvy, some Cat5, screws, and a whole lotta duct tape. The arrow graphics are available online, but I change the colors with photoshop and take them into Kinkos.
Do you use that with a PC?
The one I'm passing off to a friend is for X-Box, and I have two for PS2 myself. You can wire them for PC though (usb), they use some program/game called Stepmania.

Sorry bud, like Maeg, I figured most everyone had at least heard of it. That, and based on the previous tone of responses in the thread, I thought I was getting another "wtf is your problem" response. Sorry. :o

If I remember correctly, someone was working on something similar to that description. It looked more like a disco floor from the 70s, but the idea was the same.. can't remember what exactly they used it for though, some other DDR-esque game I would imagine.
Anyway, thanks guys. :)
