This is a nicely polished-and-optimized hardware version of the UI in Stephen Lavelle&#x27;s Plingpling. [0] I have a prototype sitting around of a directly inspired &quot;draw-to-physics&quot; thing myself.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.plingpling.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.plingpling.org&#x2F;</a>

That&#x27;s not working for me, but &quot;Pinball Construction Set&quot; was a hell of a thing (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pinball_Construction_Set" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pinball_Construction_Set</a>)

This is an art project, not a product.[1] As an arcade machine, it&#x27;s at least 20 years too late. But it has potential as a casual game for tablets or very fat phones.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sewergadget.tumblr.com&#x2F;exhibition" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sewergadget.tumblr.com&#x2F;exhibition</a>

Hey there, I&#x27;m Roman Miletitch, co creator of Flippaper with Jérémie Cortial. Glad to see us on hacker news! If you have any questions, I&#x27;m here to answer.<p>Just one comment already. While the pinball was indeed the thematic, the point was to have a gameplay that would take drawing as an input (or any colored stuff actually), and output on top of it. While not new, the fact you&#x27;re both the game designer and player is a fun &amp; sometimes weird experience.<p>And yeah, it&#x27;s an art project indeed. While we&#x27;re aiming later for an app on smartphone, we wanted first to keep the physical aspect. This spawned many new way of playing Flippaper (ending up with one guy playing his T shirt because it had the right colors).

I thought this was a finished game I could play right now in the browser!

I was hoping that this was something I could buy for my son&#x27;s tablet. That would be awesome.

not exactly &quot;realtime&quot; if you press &quot;scan&quot; but still, I love the idea

The 80s vibe of creating shitty useless junk to buy because we didn&#x27;t have what we really wanted, smartphones and tablets, was a nice touch.
