But all credit for the gameplay and so on goes to Maxis, all I did was not screw it up in that case! But I got it into the Windows box, which is how and why everyone knows it today. that was all done! My contribution was volunteering to port it, including a partial rewrite from asm to C, to work on MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC, IA64, ARM, and so on, which was actually a lot of work.
I always like to point out that I was working with a full set of original IP from Maxis, so I had nothing to do with the design of the game, or it's art, etc. The code, by the way, is "hidden test" without the quotes! Then various keys do different things, you can click and drag the ball around, and so on. The kids could care less about anything technically hard or interesting that I'd worked on, of course, but Pinball gave me instant street cred with them.Įspecially cool was being able to walk over and enter a secret code that only I knew that would turn on all the cheats, like infinite lives. The best part is that I used to "teach" computer lab when my kids were in K through 6th grades, back when Pinball was still included and well known. Space Cadet Pinball, how does it feel to be the most played "bring your child to work day" game? I remember it fondly. Note: Based on observing question-taker's profile, he is still taking answers, so two parts may or may not completely summarize the AMA.
