Well thank goodness someone has decided to take on the task of writing a
pinball game. I didn't think anyone ever would... Sorry, but I ain't got
no routine. you could try and make on by combining a few existing ones,
such as those for the Mario type games, where gravity is involved, and the
jumping for the ball's upward momentum as you mentioned. And combine the
breakout paddle code for the flippers and walls (to get the angles etc...).
Hope this helps. And if it does ask those people for their routines. I'm
sure they would help if it went toward a good game. :)
Sincerely,
Kevin
