Irony: If you put Pool/Billiards physics into a pinball sim it might actually play way better... :o Today for ADG Pro, Gemini's going to attempt to take pinball flipper tricks from the real world and apply them to Epic Pinball to see how many work, how many don't, or what other considerations there are in the differences of the physics between reality and code! ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * If you'd like to learn how to do these tricks, nothing beats learning on the real thing. You can find a map on Pinside which documents all kinds of places to play! https://pinside.com/ * If you want to try learning through software, Farsight Studio's "The Pinball Arcade" has some of the most accurate physics around. Again, not perfectly accurate by any means, but all the real flipper tricks mentioned here works in it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/238260/Pinball_Arcade/ * And, for more details on these tricks and to watch them being performed, check out these tutorial pages on the Professional & Amateur Pinball Association's website! https://papa.org/learning-center/players-guide/ * One thing I should stress is that some of the tricks I mentioned didn't work actually appear to over the course of the video, however... they're really not. What's happening is that the state of the flipper in the moment where the trick appears to work is the only consideration. For instance, the one I explicitly point out which LOOKS like a live catch would've worked anyways even if I held the flipper up the entire time because the way the ball reacted there is a quirk of the physics on the Super Android table. It was NOT an actual live catch! :P ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @Pixelmusement on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pixelmusement
