Marble Pusher V1.1

Description
README
This project has been discontinued indefinitely, mainly due to time constrains and many design flaws with the machine. Maybe i might revisit this concept in the future, but definitely not anytime soon. Have a good day ahead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[do not spawn too many marbles, it breaks the machine. if you accidentally break it, reset all marbles.]

V1.1 fixes:
problem with bonus marbles not dispensing
light at the top left to show that the marble dispenser is empty
(you can spam the machine, but you will run out quickly)
few minor fixes
should be alot more playable now, thanks for playing

controls
e- dispense one marble
z - reset score
0 - reset all marbles

symbols
the top number is the score
bottom number is the bonus score (will be used in the future)
left white light: normal marbles dispensing
right blue light: metal marble dispensing
red lights in the middle: from left to right, there are 5 lights.
skipping the middle, each light on is 10 marbles passing through the 'gold' colour in the board
10 --> 20 --> skip --> 30 --> 40
when there are 50 marbles, the lights will flash and a bomb will be dispensed from the right.
there is a cooldown period for the board rewards

mechanics
when normal marbles fall, they count as one point.
when metal marbles fall, they count as one bonus point (will be used in the future)

setup
press f twice (or the hotkey you set to span marbles)
you are done! (setup was way harder in the development stages of this game)

backstory
a few months ago, i found the bowling game in marble world very interesting. fun game which you should check out.
link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2800072535
they sorted the marbles by weight, using a booster.
also, if you were to go to any arcade, there is a game called "peral fishery" big props to that game, basically this but slightly
modified and completely different mechanism.
thus i started this new project. the hardest part is the sorter, took 3 days to make.

projection
this is a WIP, as it is very mechanically complicated and time consuming to make.
the plan is to finish up this game, make a new marble obstical course and then make a newer, better ball pusher to solve the problems with the
limitations of logic currently. (logic part 2 and 3)

thanks for reading, and have fun with this game i made and with Marble World!

Hey there, can you post the track you used to let only one marble go at a time?

i have to say, it's a surprising amount of satisfaction to simulate a coin pusher used in arcades and some amusement prize counters, where you could win a prize nobody seems to care. this one having marbles as coins may not feel the same, but i personally think that marbles aren't necesarily as valuable as coins (assuming between Real World and Marble World). either way, it's a lot of fun :D

Hey marble world friends, i am free again. I am planning on making other arcade machines like this one over here. Currently thinking about monster drop, skeeball, and pinball. If you have any good arcade games that has some usage of balls/marbles, you can tell me in this comment section here. Thanks for playing my game. :steamthumbsup:
