The SkeletonGame Event System

Michael Ocean
A major goal of SkeletonGame is to keep you from having to wrestle with implementing the logic that controls the typical pinball game state stuff (e.g., is a ball starting? stopping? drained? tilting?). The idea is that the majority of your code can live in “modes” and your modes will be notified about these game-play events firing. To be notified of these events, your mode should provide a method with the same name as the event, and your mode needs to be active (unless otherwise noted in the table).
