Link to the 1920 version, dailymotion seems to have screwed the audio sync, and the raw video looks better.

That is pure awesomeness, no other way to describe it. I love the way that the light subtly bleeds from a lit reel symbol to an unlit adjacent symbol...

It's nearly there, Disc Reels need some major work to support all setups.

Some discs are unlit, some discs have 1 circle of lamps, some discs have 2 circles of lamps, some discs have 2 colors of lamp in one area. This is a lot to configure and simulate, and to be honest I'm still working on getting it looking right. Then once I get it right, I then have to set up the editor so it can be minipulated by users.

 

Then there is the band reel, which is basically a normal reel with 5 lamp segments instead of 3, so quite quick and easy. Then there is the 3D dice reel which you have already seen in a test program. This needs a better aligned 3D model and I did the test model by eye rather than by maths. But other than that, is pretty much ready to add, though this isn't needed until Scorp2 or MPU5 tech, it's one less thing to add later and have to change the front end and write a format updater. That being said, doesn't Impact use a different type of special dice reel for Fairground, and similar machines. Hmm, I need to add that as well.

 

Once that's done I can add the few server features required for minimal working, sort out the options page, tidy up the front end a bit, and release it.

So, I have today and Sunday off work, I need to get the reels finished today if I am to stay on target for Sunday, I'll keep you posted.

Does anyone have any art for a double disc? Something like revolution MPU5 or its many many clones?

Sometimes, things don't always work the way you expect them to.

It freezes for a few secs on mine after you select offline play, then when you select machine on the next menu it may take a while to load depending on your computer.
