Testing flipper action, this has best results so far. I've given up on angle-in = angle-out like ball hitting wall.
Off a flipper, ball action works best ball going out perpendicular to flipper for me anyway...
Anyone have Pinball code hanging around? I have a pretty good JB example with spring action off bumper (not bumper really more bell than bumper, what do you call them?)
