Tom's Projects 'n' Stuff

Ok, its easy to say “yeah i can do that” but to actually get off my arse and do it is another thing.

So the first thing I started to do was look and read all about pinball machines.

My friend Kenny suggested that I look at virtual pinball machines and to try and create one virtually first. So a few Google searches later I found Future Pinball at http://www.futurepinball.com/

It is a really incredible piece of software (and it’s 100% free!) that allows you to create and play a pinball machine with real world physics. Plus there is a huge community developing playfields for Future Pinball and have done some amazing work. The playfields you can download are just awesome and so much fun!  ***Highly recommended***

When looking at this software i realised that I could easily spend just as much time making a virtual pinball machine as to make a real one. (lol maybe not quite as much) So I really used it to just play lots of pinball and get some ideas from other playfields.

The work put into these vitual pinball machines are just astounding… http://www.blindmankind.tecnopinball.org/
