DESCRIPTION
Plinko is the name of a game played on The Price Is Right, where a contestant drops up to 5 Plinko discs down a large peg board to win up to $50,000 cash.

My version of Plinko has simple graphics, but otherwise plays just like the game show; i.e. you drop 5 discs to win up to $50,000.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.2.1:
  • Previous version would sometimes stop and show a "A resource wasn't found." message. The source of the problem was found and corrected.
  • Previous version might prompt the user to download a required file, even though it was included with distribution. The source of the problem was found and corrected.
REQUIREMENTS

    SCHMELDING  Do I really win $50,000?

    BRIAN KENDIG  This kind of looks like a programming class assignment - it's not even interactive; it asks the user a few questions and then computes the results to display in an AppleScriptable text editor (which comes with it). Not really worth the download, but make it interactive and animated and it could be fun!

    KEVINCHWALKER  As stated in the description my

    version of Plinko does have

    "simple graphics" and it does have

    a simple interface but it is not based

    on any programming class assignment,

    book, etc; I wrote it from scratch,

    just for the fun of it.

    As for being interactive it is true you

    won't be dragging and dropping discs

    with your mouse; instead you specify

    the rows, columns, start position(s),

    and how many times you want it to run.

    To make it more interactive (dragging

    discs with the mouse) would be a huge

    amount of work and I personally don't

    think it would make it any more fun.

    In regards to saying it should be

    animated, well it is.

    If it looks like the results are

    displayed instantaneously then

    your computer is too fast for the

    default settings (there is no speed

    governor); just increase the number

    of rows to 501 and the number of

    runs to 100; then you should see

    it animated.
