Hello!

I was thinking of tossing together a really simple pinball game. Does anyone have any example code that I can see? What I'm really interested in are the values for the pinball, namely...

phent_setmass
phent_setfriction
phent_setelasticity
phent_setdamping

My current pinball bounces around like a soccer ball. Are there any obvious pitfalls or known issues that I should know about before I sink time into this little game?

Thanks!
- Bret

you could check out the pool demo which is inluded in newton game dynamics 1.5...

...
i don't think this pool demo could be achieved with the 3dgs physics engine currently because no matter what properties you set, the balls always will be much too bouncy. i suppose this has something to do with those evil erp/cfm parameters again! ...but maybe i just haven't found the right settings yet...
