Pinball Machine: Momentum & Energy Transfer (2D)
A top-down 2D pinball table: a steel ball reflects its momentum off glowing bumpers and pivoting flippers while gravity pulls it down-table, so you can watch elastic collisions and energy injection happen in a flat, readable view.
This 2D companion runs the same momentum-and-collision model as the 3D pinball table from directly overhead: a ball launched up the shooter lane falls back down-table under adjustable gravity, bounces elastically off the table walls, picks up extra speed from five glowing bumpers, and can be batted back upfield by two flippers that either flip themselves on an auto-timer or respond to your arrow-key / on-screen input, with every collision and the ball's live and peak speed tracked in the side panel.
Top-down 2D pinball table with velocity-based momentum, wall/bumper/flipper collision response, adjustable gravity, launch speed and bumper bounciness, and manual or AI-driven flippers.
