This animation was recorded from the staff implementation of GizmoBall, the final project in 6.170. GizmoBall is an expanded version of pinball where users can construct their own machine layout by placing configurable "gizmos" on the playing field. In this board, there are three star gizmos, two of which are always rotating. The stars change color temporarily when hit. A tree is constructed from square and triangle gizmos which don't interact with the balls. Circle bouncers dot the tree and change color when hit. The purple absorber at the bottom is configured to trigger itself, so that when a ball falls into the absorber, it is immediately fired again. The Java Advanced Imaging API was used to write the animation frames to individual image files, which were converted to GIFs and then combined using gifsicle. |
