What's the worst part of any microwave? The timer! All that time we spend just waiting for our microwaves to finish cooking. but what if that waiting was just a bit more fun? What if we could play video games while we wait? YouTuber, engineer, and maker-extraordinaire Allen Pan of Sufficiently Advanced puts together a dream appliance, a video game microwave that only cooks while he plays! Check out Allen Pan on his YouTube channel

I made one that only works while you sing and people dance so I programmed a neural network to watch at least one other person dancing and another network to identify the singer. If both occur at the same time, the microwave works. So I gave it to my friend who is a terrible singer just to screw with him. And yes, I included instructions -

Now here's a quick riddle. What really potentially dangerous thing did Alan Pan do here?
Answer: He forgot to include the door interlock in his hack. Game on, microwave on.
Food looks cooked so open door, microwave still on.
Not instant death or anything but (you) get microwaved.

my microwave has 3 settings:
1, Your Food is cold and inedible, but hay we had the light on and an annoying loud beep noise, your welcome!
2, Your plate/bowl is Hot AF and your food is warm on the edges and cold/frozen in the middle - MAGIC!
3, LAVA

The pro tip for knotting your wires to not let them disconnect is brilliant thx dude. And I did not expect Allen here. What is the app on the tablet that you used and how did you connect it?

Quick Learning: If you think it's too long to wait 2 minutes, grab your phone and start playing your favourite game, that will worth your time. At least better than burning your breakfast!

So since you removed the microwaves controller does that mean it will run with the door open? Thats not good. I was thinking during the popcorn thing just open the door but.

I was more thinking of a console that would play the role of a microwave remote control but for that you need to change the code and electrical circuit altogether.

NGL I think a raspberry pi would be better as the gaming device for this type of project and it would be easier for it to communicate with the arduino too.

I think there could be some sort of energy left. There could be some Evanescent field and it could couple back in to your eye/head, who knows: D

change it to karaoke. sounds like it'll also be fun. let's say that each song is about 3 minutes long. you could probably use that as a timer
