Attract Mode Routine

Rem *** Attract Mode ***
Rem Written by Chris
'To integrate it with your table, you need to do the following:
'- Create a new collection called AllLights and add all lights and bumpers to the collection
'- Add a timer called AttractTimer and set its interval to the value of your choice (I use 50).
'- Change Table1 to the actual name of your table. It appears twice near the beginning of AttractTimer_Timer().
'- Make sure you disable the attract mode by disabling the AttractTimer when the game starts, and enable the AttractTimer again when the game ends.
