Basic pinball game guts

Well, I got bit by a few too many bugs today to get this where I wanted, but I'll go ahead and post what I have so far.
There's a TON of stuff that needs to be added, but I was focusing on the paddle code and moving parameters into datablocks, so feel free to add away :-)
Just unzip it anywhere (everything is in a folder called pinball) and run the t2d.exe
www.tieros.com/pinball.zip
Things that need to be added:
Sound
Bumpers need to "pop" to exert additional force on the ball
More stuff to bump into
Gameboard graphics
Score display (it's being held in a global variable $score)
A ball launcher
Multiball
Ramps
etc. :-)

Neat demo. The paddles turned out nicely.

Hahah, insane. I thought I went through every key. I guess I had numlock on when I went through the number pad. And somehow, I skipped the arrow keys. heh.Neat demo. The paddles turned out nicely.

The key mapping is displayed on the background image I didn't include :-)
Enter = reset
Space = nudge (although it's only the camera currently)
Arrows = paddle
Plus the default mappings of
Escape = exit
~ = console

I hope someone can turn up a copy. I'd love to see it again.

I'm checking through backups of my old computers, but haven't found it yet. The bad part is I didn't even remember writing this when I saw the email asking about it, and wondered why I was notified :-)I hope someone can turn up a copy. I'd love to see it again.

Ohh man, I wanted to see how you did this. Especially since people say the flippers were working nicely.
