Well my girlfriend just baught me a Tamagotchi to keep hers company...yes lame I know. So a thought had occured to me, why not mod the little sucker? I don't even know where I would begin, so I thought I would ask you guys for some ideas? Currently I am learning Java and know html fairly good; however, I don't think that either of those languages will help. So anyone have a sugestion?

Randomly browsing new posts, I saw the title of this one and did a double take.

Yes I dont think you be able to re-program the poor thing... Insted you would proubaly want to add useless crap to it for laughs. Like LEDS or something..

Neither of those languages will help at all whatsoever, and there's no standard port to connect the device to a computer. No hax kthx.

LOL your responses are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh and input and no my girlfriend is not 11 but =) anyways. Dang, any of you know if I could get it to vibrate like a cellphone instead of beep?

Dare I ask why would want that?

They make other products for those kind of uses, you know.

Edit: Oh, I should probably answer your question. If there is no motor in it already, you'd have to mod it with a motor, not really worth the effort.

Omg you sick sick man, seriously though I don't want it going off at work or in the middle of class so I figured a nice cell phone vibrate feature would solve that problem....or like a light? I don't know....I just want to do something with this thing besides...raise it and crap....=\

Well, you could always try and fit some kind of switch into it, to disable the speaker when you want it silent. *shrug*

You could always make an acrylic house for it, or get one of your friends to. Then add LEDs and various other mods from there. It's all a matter of knowing the wireing and crap, I would assume
