Pinball

What’s Happening

This pinball game was my first introduction to video games inside of Unreal. Using an online course, I put together a game that includes all the basic mechanics of a pinball machine including bumpers, flippers, slides, and a plunger.

During this course, I was introduced to Unreal's blueprint visual coding editor. It allows a person to code a game without needing to write out C++. I also started to pick up on how to change material colors, positioning in reaction to a button being pressed, and matrices to hold high score values.

Like a normal pinball game, you are given three balls to get your high score. After launching the ball with the plunger, you must keep the ball in-game as long as possible.
