Download the 13 sprites and 26 scripts of "Simple Pinball Base" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
This is a pretty good base for a simple pinball game. All the elements have been left draggable so you can experiment with different locations. The walls and bumpers can be duplicated if you want more things to bump in to.
Sadly, it is VERY slow online. Try it downloaded and see if it works better for you there.
Feel free to remix with your own designs. Just be sure to give credit.
I want to thank Kevin_Karplus for making the original bouncing pinball project "Schoolhouse Pinball" so long ago.
Enjoy!
Technical Notes
===========
The ball movement scripts in this project were done using the Point/Move blocks rather than the more usual Set X/Set Y. This complicated the gravity calculations but allowed me to use the On Edge Bounce block.
Flat surface bounces only happen on the side where the direction vector is pointing. This was done intentionally so that the flippers would perform with more realism but had the unfortunate side effect that walls only bounce on one side.

YOU GOT THAT ONE RIGHT

Great Game! I just can't figure out how that ball works.
I found the secret cheat
what is it
and counting
10150
3940
i million
you can get the ball stuck and get infinite points
16100!
97510
19330 because of the glitch where you can get the ball stuck in the wall
Come on, where's the good old tilt function! Half the fun of playing real life pinball is tilting the machine when you're angry!
thank you very much :)
Glitch: infinite points. Flip left or right paddle all the way up and when the ball comes, it will slide down it and be stuck on the long green platform. I'm at 19000
i arranged so that it was almost impossible to die, got 185310
tht happened to me
Nice job! It is great. :D
Working on a remix with added functionality. Bumpers that give an extra ball in hard to reach but possible places,etc. Just need help on how to make it flip faster.
Sorry not to get back to you sooner...I don't log on to this account all that often. Leave a comment on my Paddle2see account if you want a prompter answer. Still looking for help here?
WOW. I can help fixing it. lemme remix ok?
If you have a MAC, this works fast online.
3 balls left, 6020 points. (It was glitch where when the bumper hit the ball, it failed to collide and went through the green thing.)
I wonder what happens if you combine pong and pinball...
Sounds like an interesting idea!

Sweet!
I have made improvements to my pinball game. Please check it out: (link to project)
I got 21520
i got 42320
I wanted to make a pinball machine off of this, but I can't find the script that lets you drag stuff around, cause I need to take that off. how did you do it?
Oh, that's the built-in drag property. Look for a little padlock symbol up by the sprite name.
(view all replies)Since you know what you're doing with the complex math for this project, and I don't know how to fix something on my pinball project, I was wondering if you know what the conversion from slope to degrees (angles) is?
in other words i am asking if you can convert from change x or y to point and move steps.
(view all replies)thank u
wow cool!
Nice game! I love the effects. I scored 1800 in two sets.
Glad you like it! Now, I just need to merge the bouncing of this project with the nice solid objects of my Marble Roll kit and I'll have a great pinball game!
(view all replies)so you're paddle2see?
Yes, I am :)
I got it stuck getting points lol. Awesome game :P
Yeah...there's a bug :(
(view all replies)21,000 and going up
simple? I just about cried when I first saw the script! :P just kidding, but the scripting is obviously proffesional and it works like a charm
Thanks...I guess I meant the functionality, not the scripting :)
