Device Build

[User 10648256]

I need a device built for a school project. The device will play a simple game, something like who wants to be a millionaire, and be built solely for that purpose. The game questions needs to be updatable from point to point. Something as small as the nokia 101 would be perfect. I guess the program can be written in C, C++ or the likes and I'm pretty sure I can handle that bit, what I really need help with is the device building. I'm clueless there. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you really think an answer to a question of this magnitude can be provided in such a forum? :rolleyes:

Personally, I'd go with the Arduino platform. You can buy an Arduino Pro Mini (clone) for about $4 on flea-bay, which you could either couple with a 16x2 character display complete with buttons, or with a 128x160 16-bit graphics display and some extra buttons. In either case, you should be able to build the device for under $15. Arduino gives you the advantage of writing in C/C++. The Nokia 101 looks like programming would be something more of a task.
