Well, the layout's based on Stern's "Meteor" from 1979. Loved the game, thought the movie stank. I laid it out basically from an image, didn't copy it directly, no, so it's an interpretation of the layout.
A note: I deliberately added 2 posts to shut down the outside escapes. This was so I could speed up play testing without the ball going home early. These will be removed on the later model, after I've gotten it to work properly.
And yes, you're not alone about the learning curve. As I said elsewhere, I'm more comfy with AB Slick's and how to program those. Otherwise, write, test, write, test, curse, rewrite, test, curse some more and.....well, as I said, it does add the scores!
I would appreciate any help to:
-Add a scoring "countdown" feature and...
-An attract mode.
UFO? It just popped in there as I worked on it. Anyways, with time, help, I'll remove the ding-ding for noises, add some sounds....
Again, thanks to all!
