Our constraints required us to have both a score and ball count on the same screen. As well as having an end screen when you lose all your balls and a start screen when a game starts

Constraints for the digital design was perfecting the view of the board, making sure everything fits and is in the right spot. What's visible should be visible and what's not shouldn't be.

VIdeo on the left is my groupmate Ethan going over the pinball machine we chose
We chose the fun house pinball machine
It contains:
2 Main Flippers for bouncing the ball back up
2 additional flippers higher on the board
A mouth which is the main target to hit for the most points
A launcher for sending the ball onto the board
A ball rail system that sends the ball to 3 targets for lots of points
Other minor targets and bouncers are around the sides.
