Here is the start to my newest project. It's a 2003 Benchmark Ten Strike Classic. It's an electronic version of a 1957 Williams Ten Strike Manikin Bowler.

Can you make the room smaller so the machine takes up more of the screen? Besides, it does require power, and that looks like it'd need a 50 foot power cord.

Here is an update to the bowler now, I changed the background picture and did some more graphic enhancements. Right now the pins just disappear. I will work on animating the pin soon. No more huge room and no more 50 foot extension cord.

This thing is very cool.

Nice Rascal! I never saw one of these in the wild, could you give me some idea of the real ball size and what it's made of?

According to the game, a Blow is just anything other then a Strike or Spare. Each pin is worth 1 point in a Blow.

This video is freakin' awesome!

I think that does look better Rascal.

Thanks Rascal!

Yeah that sure is a sweet recondition ain't it. I like the video about the internal workings too. Not a speck of dust anywhere.

Here is my progress on this bowler. All I have left to do is script the scoring. I should be able to finish it soon.



Here is a YouTube of me throwing the ball.

Great news! Wizards_Hat is helping me finish this project, so it won't be long now! Thank you Wizard_Hat for giving me a hand.

Wow! that game looks real fun to play! it actually takes skill to make spares! I like that magnet for the base plate, I had wondered how he was gonna hold the ball but he doesn't really he pushes it instead of actually holding it. How are you gonna' replicate that in VP? I thought ya' couldn't do magnets in vp. am I wrong? (again ) and thank you Dan for offering to help him on this. I can't wait for it, um, is it for vp9?
