hi
how's everyone?
@Austin_Dern @typhlosion that brought to mind a question I was wanting to ask you: do you know, are there any pinball machines that don't have a tilt mechanism and that encourage bumping and tilting the machine as part of play?
@Austin_Dern @typhlosion Purely mechanical pinball seems like quite a feat of engineering!
@Austin_Dern @typhlosion Aha, I was thinking of mechanical scoring mechanisms and suchlike. But yeah, that's not difficult.
@Austin_Dern @typhlosion I was thinking it'd have to be spring-loaded, clockwork scoring mechanisms
If you have a button the ball can hit that acts like the escapement of a clock, you could tick one point forward on a dial... but the problem would be putting things together for multiple ways to get points, and different _numbers_ of points for different things would be another problem altogether.
@Austin_Dern Yeah, and if you can decide how many points each thing is worth perhaps youo could pick numbers that make it easy.
@Austin_Dern this would be a neat little project for someone to do sometime. Probably not me.
@Austin_Dern @Felthry @typhlosion
Alternately: any pro players who /never/ nudge or bump things, or is that a required skill for higher-tier play?
@Austin_Dern @emanate @Felthry @typhlosion
Ah! Gotcha. :-)
