Final Year Projects (using the Nintendo Gameboy)

In 2000 I am running three projects related to the Nintendo Gameboy
Barcode scanner and inventory management tool
I/O Interface card for general purpose robot control (including the Bilby robot) (together with Mark Phythian)
Playing card scanner - a card playing aid for the visually impaired

There are heaps of resources out there on the web to program the Gameboy...
use your favourite search engine to find them.
