3. Specifications
Implementing a vending machine using a Graphic User Interface and state machine.
Adding in other physical vending machine ideas, hopefully:
Exact Change? (Thank you, Karlis.)
Sold Out?
Any other ideas?

4. State Machine

5. “Original” vs. “Exact Change”

6. GUI Specific implementations C#
Possibly XNA 3.5/4.0 (if I can learn it in time)
Prices for items will be relatively low so that there isn’t too much extra work for testing. (No one wants to click on a nickel for hours
It could still later be changed to add more “expensive” items and more variety. (Although, in a GUI, physical space is at a premium.)

7. Changing the Paradigm Questions? Concerns?
Any helpful ideas or concepts?
What would you like me to add?
