Pinball Power (C64) remake request

[pycur]

Hello!
Many years ago (in 2007) i successfully met Visual Pinball, and it was an awesome moment in my life. I also had a big dream to make a table, and I started to make it. But without programming skills I only made a skeleton of my favorite Pinball Power aka 3D Pinball table from the C64.
I would wanted to make it, but I need some help with that.
It game has very simple rules, just watch a gameplay on youtube:

So I uploaded my WIP version.
Is there anybody who has some interest to make it working?
Thank you!

So nothing....sadly...

it's too early....give it maybe a few days for the members to see it.....

It's ok, I posted it exactly 2 months ago. :D
I hope somebody can help me out.
That would be awesome.

Still nobody? ....

I somehow managed to get alive this skeleton, but still needs some work, but IS playable on debug level, no ball counting, no bonus counting yet. I'm on the way to find it out but I really need some help with timers to make add bonus at 500ms/piece. As it was originally programmed. Check out V.0.16!

Ok, it seems I managed to make this table. How to release it?

I helped get someone started on this a long time ago at the old VPF, but I'm not sure she ever finished it. (I forget her name, but she made a "Spongebob Squarepants" table, and geez, that must have been over 20yrs ago!)

Sorry I didn't see your thread here, as maybe I could have helped in some small way. In any case, nice work.

Hello, thank you for your comment.
Any suggestion is still accepted.
I would need a flasher or some similar light when goal is hit, and I want to make that bunch of text on the top to scrolling like on the c64 version. Maybe a tilt system. But it's not necessary.
I found a small sample, but it not works fully, it hangs, and seems buggy.
Can you repair it?

I somehow managed to make this working too. Updated main release:

VP9 - Recreation Video Games - Pinball Power (Masteronic, 1989)

So I got some balls, and after a very intensive work for 5 day, I'm proud to release the good old C64 classic Pinball Power table's remake to Visual Pinball 9. I started the skeleton in 2007, and some months ago I found it again. I asked some help to make it, but mainly managed to get enough...

Me, I'm not doing any VP work these days, and am extremely rusty on top of that.

All I can really give you are my thoughts and appreciation, personally.

Oh, one thing I've found is that premium ChatGPT (and probably other AI models) are evidently getting pretty good at explaining and helping fix coding issues. Maybe you want to give that a try if you get stuck without help.

Thank you for the tip. I'm not used to know there is ai that can answer things. However i already tried it in other subject. BTW I managed to make it work. The textbox size was the problem. Check it out on the release page. :)

Now I added some sounds for gates and ball loading, and even a ball down sound. The only thing is missing the ball start check, to fire up all lamps and wait 1 sec and shut off. :)
