• Major Milestones
  • Milestone I.
    • Design Document.
    • Code Refactoring according to UML diagram.
    • Basic driver:
      • Launcher.
      • Tilted pinball board (no hole).
    • Test Plan
      • Testing objective is to ensure that refactoring has not introduced bugs into our existing physics engine.
      • Rolling/stopping will be tested with the existing pyramid/ramp scenario.

• • Milestone II.
    • Flippers.
    • Hole.
    • Terrains.
    • Basic scoring.
    • Keyboard input.
      • To test responsiveness.
    • (Collision Bounding).
    • Test Plan
      • Test pinball level
        • Test differing target responses.
        • Be sure ball movement is realistic, doesn't fly off, etc.
        • test flipper interaction with ball.
  • Milestone III.
    • Textures.
    • Prototype level for shipping.
    • (Dynamic level behavior).
    • (Multiple balls).
    • (Dynamic obstacles).
    • [Text (lighting permitting)].
  • Milestone IV.
    • Final level design.
    • High score table.
    • (Multi-player capability).

NOTE: (Round brackets) means risky feature. [Square brackets] means that the feature may be pushed to a future milestone.
