Working Fallout Pipboy 3000

 There have been a lot of Pipboy builds, each describing thereselves as ‘working’.  So what do I mean by working?  The Pipboy in the game has a lot of different uses.  It is the users inventory screen, notebook (for quests), map, health meter and light.  Well that’s the basics anyway.  It also has a radiation meter so you can see your current radiation level and a radio to pick up broadcasts.  So what features do I feel I should include before I consider it working, well all of them – but for the first iteration I think we’ll concentrate on Status, Map, Radio and Light features.
