For those of you who actually have the spare time to consider building this, a cheap easy-to-build programmer that can program the 16C84 chip can be found at Covington Innovations NOPPP
I origionally saw this programmer in "Electronics Now" magazine (Now "Poptronics") a couple years ago.
Okay, now I've gotta go buy myself a bunch of X10 wireless controllers (http://www.x10.com) and raid the local christmas-in-April store to set this up on one of the dorm buildings at school. That would be much easier than using custom interfaces, though more prone to error from people messing with their own controllers...
Wouldn't this just be the coolest on one of those highrise buildings with floor to ceiling windows??!?
Buy a ton of controllers, buy christmas lights when they're on closeout, charge people a couple bucks a game to play and you'll make your money back within a couple weeks.
