PINBLOCKS
A Houseball Amusements project
Visual MPF mode builder for homebrew pinball
v0.32.1 Beta 1

Open an MPF project

PinBlocks uses your real switches, modes and components without changing the project.

Built by Houseball Amusements for the homebrew pinball community. Use PinBlocks to learn MPF concepts and turn gameplay ideas into mode configuration.

PinBlocks currently builds modes inside an existing MPF project rather than creating a machine project from scratch.

LEARN

PinBlocks

Build the basic pieces of an MPF mode visually. PinBlocks explains the MPF concept and compiles the pieces into YAML.

WHAT MPF GETS

Select a section or block to see how it relates to MPF config.

PROJECT SAFETY

PinBlocks only writes to your project when you explicitly use Install Mode. Existing imported modes remain protected from overwrite.

Create a Mode

This will eventually become the mode folder and config name.
The start event tells MPF when this mode's rules become active.
The stop event turns this mode off.
Higher-priority modes can take precedence when modes interact.
PinBlocks detected/defaulted this for the project. Beginners normally should not need to change it.
