A small update of the very first shivaEngine (a.k.a. the tutorial included with Visual Pinball for 15 years) with a different design and some code changes. Very simple coding still works!!!! For VP up to VP 9.9
shivaengine.vpt updated by shiva.

There are a small series of files that should be included with this engine and example table:
Some of these files may have a version number included within the file name
- shivaEngine.vpt ' Table Example
- shivaengine.vps ' External file, include with your vpt table
' in the same folder
- ShivaEngineChanges ' Lists all credits, and build versions
* Docs Folder ' shivaEngine documentation
' used in shivaEngine
- shivaEngine rules ' basic rulesheet to the example table
- se_control_keys ' Lists all the control keys used in the example
' Includes code snippets for each main control key
' Also lists debug keys
- Keycodes ' List of all key codes
- codes_for_your_table ' Details all the code calls used by this engine
' for inclustion into your own table
' Also details and lists all the subs
' and timers
* Tutorials * ' All written by shiva, with Cold1, unless otherwise noted
- se Features doc - Additional features docs
- Attract Mode (written by Chris)
- Collect Bonus
- Lane Change with 5 rollovers
- Ramp Diverter with 2 way gate
- Ramp Loop
=======================
How to Use shivaEngine
=======================
Just place the shivaengine.vpt AND the shivaengine.vps in the same folder.
shivaEngine uses a external file to run the table, instead of a built in script in the table editor.
The call to the external file is (useing build 1_8 as a example):
ExecuteGlobal CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("shivaengine1_8a.vps", 1).ReadAll
