Gizmoball - Pinball game

[screenshot of gizmoball]Gizmoball is a game developed for my third-year university group project. It allows users to create and play simple pinball-like games. It's pretty feature-complete and well-finished as uni projects go, and can be quite fun to muck around with. As a team we where lucky enough to win the third-year group project prize awarded by a local IT company: Graham technology

Gizmoball was developed by Liam McBrien, Martin Baillie and myself. Props to Liam and Martin, it was a joy to work in a team with them.

The game was developed in Java using CVS as the version control software

Feel free to download and play about with it. The source code is included if you are interested in seeing how it was built
