Mission Pinball Framework Podcasts and a few other links

· by · in MPF. ·

For those of you considering using MPF or other software frameworks as part of your pinball project here are a few links that I found helpful.

Checkout episodes 76 to 78 for a in-depth overview MPF:

  • How MPF came to be
  • Our approach to pinball software
  • “Programming” with config files versus “real” code (more on that here)
  • What’s new in MPF 0.30
  • A walk-through of how you implement game logic into MPF
  • Our long-term vision

Also of interest to self-builders is Episode 70

‘ A few weeks ago, Adam did a 2-hour show with Dan Lyon (a.k.a. “curbfeeler”), who’s creating Pin*Bot 2.0 using a P-ROC with Michael Ocean’s and Josh Kugler’s PyProcGameHD+SkeletonGame. It’s a great show and always cool to hear another story from someone creating their own game.’

Alternative pinball frameworks and simulation:

I missed the Pinball Labs Kickstarter earlier this year: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1820215579/pinball-labs?ref=discovery

But the initial work on this has been shared at:

Here’s a pinball simulator based on Unreal Engine 4:
