It’s 2.37 am here right now so it’s time for some sleep… But first I’ll do a short post of my day one-ish work.

So only a bit of work done today mostly due to family dinner and problems with the well known flippers in pinball machines.
So I came up with a different way which was way easier to implement and to make feel right.

I’ll introduce to you, the “Arc Pad” … Or something like that :p

At the moment they’ll just float in mid air, I’ll need to create a propper housing for them still.
When activated they’ll change color (probably will change this) and they’ll pop out a little in their normal direction.

The ball will be pushed in the direction based on the hit angle between the ball and the bad.
This allows for quite some interesting gameplay options where you’ll have to use the pad when the ball is at the right angle or arc.

Tomorrow I’ll implement enemies, bumpers and do the (hopefully) full “level” part.
Audio should be added soon as well…. So much work, so little time :p
