There are really subtle details in the interactions with the rubber on the flippers - a real ball will sink into the rubber by a fraction of a millimeter and rebound in ways that depend on that. It's much more than one object moving at one velocity. A ball's motion is very 3d even on a 2d playfield - it can have a spin axis aligned anywhere on its sphere.įlippers too. A real ball slides and spins and scrapes across the playfield and the objects in all sorts of ways. Real ball motion is so much more than a pair of X-Y coordinates and velocities. Same as how a tabletop game store is really making money on the food items, not the trading cards.Īnd as for your last, yes, virtual pinball games don't come close on ball physics. Most often the machines are owned and operated by an outside contractor or dedicated hobbyist (who knows how to fix them.) The games make it a destination for families with kids, and the adults play some but really spend on food and drink.
