• 5/05/2004 - Height map
  • The second level height map is now created using simple ray tracing techniques. The map is stored out to a file as the calculations are rather long.

• 5/04/2004 - New physics
  • Changed the ball physics from 3d to 2d. This makes the ball look much more realistic.
  • Added two height maps, one for the bottom level and one for the top level. Only the bottom level is used as of now.
  • Created a new board to test the new physics. This board is aligned perfectly to allow convenient height map creation.

• 5/02/2004 - Update
  • Corrected yet another issue with collisions.
  • Built the demo pinball board.
  • Began work on flippers, need to discuss flipper response.

• 4/29/2004 - Reworking/Debugging
  • Discovered source of a quasi-inifinite loop when ball comes to a rest, corrected.
  • Corrected collision detection to work completely with multiple mesh responses.

• 4/25/2004 - Debugging
  • Debugged responsiveness problem with Dom. Unknown exactly why problem occurs, will look into in more depth.

• 4/24/2004 - Modelling
  • Pinball level outline, will add on to this model as the project progresses.
  • Final version of pinball flippers, need to look into multiple materials per mesh as the flippers contain two seperate colors.

• 4/20/2004 - Refactoring
  • Did a large amount of code refactoring, everything Dom did not yet complete.
  • Added GameManager, World, and finished Mesh.
  • Added timestep and draw to all. Got rid of BallState.
  • Rewrote the collision detection code to work with the new code layout. Multiple mesh collision are implemented but are somewhat buggy. This is due to failure in a predecided concept and not code, will discuss for working alternatives.

• 4/17/2004 - Uploaded draft design document.
