What is the Geekiest Microwave?
What would it look like?
What if you could design a Microwave using Small Basic?
What if "Microwave" was an object in a new extension. And then "Cook" was one method...
Microwave.Cook()
The parameters are your items you would cook, like "Nachos".
First, we'll have a Community Challenge in the future in the Small Basic forum to build a Small Basic program that simulates a microwave like this.
But more immediately, how would the world's Geekiest Microwave work if it was actually built today?
Some possibilities:
- What if it merely compiled the corresponding code on the digital readout while you pushed the buttons? Not super geeky, but still fun!
- What if your microwave had a few buttons and a keyboard attached to it (or wirelessly synced to it)? Then you could type in your commands while still pushing a few buttons on your microwave.
- What if the microwave had no buttons? It only had a digital readout! Then you could sync your laptop or tablet to it, or you could sync a wireless keyboard to it. And the microwave interface was entirely based in Visual Studio (or a similar IDE)!
Now that would be the world's Geekiest Microwave!
What would the other methods be for the Microwave object? How would you design the world's Geekiest Microwave?
