Pinball Creator for Game Maker Studio 2

It's pinball time!

With this framework, making pinball games in Game Maker Studio 2 will become a lot easier.

- Draw collision shapes and simply import them!

- Ball

- Flippers

- Bumpers

- Plunger

- Multipliers

- Kickbacks

- Lanes & rails

- Spinners

- Score system

- Centralized macro script to quickly adjust important parameters

- Debugging overlays

- ....and more!

Lots of documentation and comments inside the project.

Enjoy making pinball games!

Limitations:

- Best used for single ball games, ball to ball interactions can have bugs in the old 1.0 version, if one of the balls is in collision with a wall mask. 

- Collision shapes must be drawn logically, as you can create shapes that can make balls get stuck (like a pit for the ball to fall into)

- Extremely high speeds are in general not a good idea, keep the speed limits at a value so your eyes can always track the ball, essential for pinball gameplay

- Make sure the edges (wall masks) of a table fill all the way to the edges of the room

- Rails must be drawn logically and with smooth curves, and the ball must have enough space in them to traverse the rails.

- This template focuses on collision shapes, meaning collision masks. You will have to provide your own graphics to go along with the collision masks you want.

This project will receive updates and is being improved upon, when I have time to work on it.
