Man Makes Real Life Space Invaders Game

Martin Raynsford from Just Add Sharks is a genius. He has created a real life Space Invaders game using a modified laser cutter – wow!

SI IRL

The game is controlled by a laptop and the player is given an overhead view from a webcam mounted on the laser cutter. Each paper Space Invader is attached to a paper clip and dies a fiery death when hit with the laser.

Be sure to visit Just Add Sharks for Martin’s in-depth explanation of how he built this awesome machine.
