Hi ck,


No, i never tried that and this is the first i've heard of it.
Radio Shack had a cheap pinball game back in 1980 that allowed some
changing of the field too.
I got my idea after playing some of the cheaper regular pinball
games and realized that it gets pretty boring after a fairly
short time so i thought it would be cool if you could change
the play table whenever you wanted to, and possibly have it
set up random also.  I've played some really incredible pinball
games with really really great animated graphics, but they all
suffer from the same thing, and that's that they get a little
boring after a while, and this seems to happen no matter how
good they are.  The 'real' tables however i used to play for
hours way back when.
I ended up getting more involved in chess sometime after.
I still think it would be interesting to have a pinball game
programmed in Euphoria of course, that we all could mod to our
own liking.
I do have one program in the archive which is a 'little' like
pinball, but it's not interactive.  A whole bunch of balls
bounce around the screen and bounce into each other and off
of the walls.  It's cool to watch the evolution of the patterns
that come about from the random collisions.


Take care,
Al

E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!
