PS You should d/l a few tables to get the feel of it before starting on your own. Watch out for "locked" tables, you can't learn anything from those. (No way to know that info before d/l'ing.) "Locked tables": you can't get to the script and perhaps can't get to the audio clips or table elements. There used to be a tutorial package out there - rather involved; I have a copy but have no idea if it is dated/superseded.

I just d/l'd v.9...wow what a difference from v6 or v7, the last time I played with VP. No more mess of files to install, now it's a compiled stand-alone like the good old DOS days. You might still need specialized add-ons for some games, I haven't checked...you should definitely visit the vp.org site and read up for yourself. The table I altered is a relatively simple one, an original 3 Stooges table. I could somehow get you a copy of the original and my modified mostly-good but still-buggy version if you'd like.

Wow...the two stalwarts are gone. RD's mini-site is still up http://www.randydavis.com/vp/intro.htm , but the two sites he links aren't. Looks like this one took up the slack: http://vpforums.org/

Howdy! Visual Basic, you say? Ah...I played with a a bastardized version of VB for a program called "Visual Pinball." Guy called Randy Davis - who has since joined the Dark Side and gone to work for M$ [g] - designed a platform for creating pinball games. There's a "table editor" with all the usual elements - flippers, bumpers, spinners, etc. - and a script editor, to make it all go. That's where the VB comes in. Some people created some very elaborate tables. My project? Take an existing table ("3 Stooges") and make it auto-play for a _long_ time. Worked on it sporadically for 2-3 years, constantly tweaking...I'd have it running in the background in a VM and it always locked up eventually. I think the longest run-time was a week or so. "Anyhoo." Davis is long gone though AFAIK his site is still up. Last I checked others were hosting his files and the user-created tables. See if I can get you some links...
