Some months ago Visual Pinball was on HN's front page. I took the impetus to actually build a full size virtual pinball cabinet.

It turns out the wife actually enjoys it more than I do. Instead I enjoyed building it, and now I've been deep diving into fixing the scripting on some of the older EM (electro-mechanical) tables (virtual ones) that are out there.

Learning Visual Basic (or a variant of it) was never on my Bingo card....
