Once built, the creator(s) can then approach public venues in their local community (e.g. cafes, laundromats, restaurants etc) and offer to place the cabinet in their venue in exchange for 50% of the revenue. This is a 100-year old business model that governs pay phones, jukeboxes, pinball, vending machines, etc. where the operator buys and maintains the unit and the venue provides space and customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Motivated makers looking for additional challenges can extend the platform in any of a number of ways detailed below including changing the game, the cabinet art, alternate controllers, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quick-history-of-arcade-cabinets-0\">Quick history of arcade cabinets\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The first video arcade cabinets were installed in \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Farcadepreservation.fandom.com\u002Fwiki\u002FAndy_Capp%E2%80%99s_Tavern\">Andy Capp’s bar\u003C\u002Fa> in Sunnyvale.  The first game was Space War and it was too complicated and not successful. The second was Pong, which was so wildly successful the quarters overflowed the coffee can that was inside to catch the quarters in the first machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These early arcade cabinets had a lot of specialty aspects, but two are important for our discussion:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Col class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Displays at the time were huge Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors that had large depths. This meant the arcade cabinets needed to be large enough to accommodate.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>The games were triggered by coins dropping past a switch, and then later dollar bill acceptors that simulated coin drops. In both cases, the arcades were holding cash unattended in public places for indeterminate periods of time. As a result they needed to be built to withstand heavy abuse and tampering.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Fol>\u003Cp>Modern innovations including flat panels and mobile phone payments enable a re-imagining of the cabinet to simplify the enclosure. When a user wants to play the DIY Artcade, the game presents a QR code that the user can scan and pay from their phone. A successful payment triggers an Amazon AWS EC2 cloud computer to send a message (over the MQTT message bus) to the Artcade indicating it has a credit and can be played.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At Two Bit Circus we love cardboard in our design process.  It’s plentiful, sturdy and can be manipulated easily so it makes an excellent solution for quick prototyping.  \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nirvan.com\u002F\">Nirvan Mullick\u003C\u002Fa>’s video about \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nirvan.com\u002Fcainesarcade\">Caine’s Arcade\u003C\u002Fa> struck a chord with 11M+ YouTube impressions and counting. It ultimately launched the non-profit Imagination.org whose annual \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcardboard-challenge.com\u002F\">Cardboard Challenge\u003C\u002Fa> is a global celebration of making with cardboard and thousands of participants.  Two Bit Circus Foundation eventually acquired Imagination.org and together with our STEAM Carnival program and have continued to bring these inspired learning programs to schools around the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>DIY Artcade is the step after cardboard.  While Cardboard is great for prototyping it does not stand up to constant use from the general public. After cardboard you need more durable materials like wood, metal and plastic.  We focused on a game-related platform because most kids love games. If you start from passion the learning can come as a wonderful side effect of authentic, motivated engagement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>DIY Artcade ships with a two-player fighter based on MUGEN called \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fikemen-engine.github.io\u002F\">Ikemen Go\u003C\u002Fa>. We selected this game because of the broad appeal from gamers and non gamers alike for the classic Street Fighter genre. It supports two players simultaneously which is more social than solo or sequential play. Ikemen Go has ample support for customizing the characters and backgrounds giving students an entry level of control over the experience. It is also an actively supported open source project with a vibrant community of coders to support learners.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Ftwobitcircus.org\">Two Bit Foundation\u003C\u002Fa> is available to implement the program for schools and districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fsites\u002F4\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled.jpeg\">\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F12\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled-1-1024x768.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61114\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F12\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled-1-1024x768.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F12\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled-1-300x225.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F12\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled-1-768x576.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F12\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled-1-1536x1152.jpeg.webp 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F12\u002Fcabinet_build-scaled-1-2048x1536.jpeg.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C!-- \u002Fwp:post-content -->\u003C!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2} -->\u003Ch2 id=\"steps-to-build-diy-artcade-1\">Steps to build DIY Artcade:\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003C!-- \u002Fwp:heading -->\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\u003Cp>Purchase the parts. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.google.com\u002Fspreadsheets\u002Fd\u002F1u71FRR6SrkH85r2BNi01pnebrz2IIyVTJZ_9o0DWiCU\u002Fedit?usp=sharing\">See this parts list\u003C\u002Fa> with tabs for both the full featured version and an economy cabinet without a few conveniences.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C!-- \u002Fwp:paragraph -->\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\u003Cp>1.
