Prototype

We coded up the picture above, connected a MIDI keyboard to help control the music we have in the game, and have 3 controllers working simultaneously. Here is a link to our first build. Currently, each time the ball collides with a surface, it increases the volume of a song that is playing in the background. The song is always decreasing in volume. Our initial thought was that the players will have to work together to make sure the song it still playing loud enough for everyone to hear. We may change this with our next iteration. 

Our next steps are to make the game prettier and match the type of music that we have and to connect two more controllers. We will also need to add in a feature that allows the players to remove pinballs from the scene. After connecting the controllers, we can work on masking the controllers and forcing them to look like actual flippers so that the controllers are more engaging for the audience.`
