Awesome! Thanks so much, I'll send them an email Have a good day!

Hello! I work for a public university under the department that supports Game Design and Development. We have a program/course that allows ~30 students to work on a single game executable for approximately a year. There is now a sizable collection of these .exe games and I have been asked to create a "mock" arcade-style cabinet to showcase these works. To clarify, I am not looking to emulate any games: I need a front end that can be put on a public machine and "locked down". Essentially an advertisement of student work - Earlier iterations of this project have an off-network machine with the .exe shortcuts in the Public Desktop folder; I'd really like to improve the user experience, and I am thinking BigBox might be my answer. I am primarily concerned with licensing BigBox for educational use; I am curious if that is acceptable within the terms of the license. Additionally, with a license to BigBox, am I able to set this cabinet up in a public space? Lastly, I am curious to see if anyone has experience with the "Lock" feature ~ Can I open LB/BB on this public machine and trust that users won't break out of my "on the rails" experience? Hoping this is the right place on the forum to post this, and I appreciate the help in advance cheers, -C
