GALACTIC GRID GIRL
(Possible name or theme for the e-m game I'm building "from scratch" all my own design.)
Progress reports:

April/May 2009
Have first draft of full schematic drawn, everything on one diagram. Other documentation is weak.
Fixing ball trough hang resulted in yet another major rebuild of the ball handling/multiball locks.
Rebuild went well & debugged pretty easily.  Game works better than ever. Altered Bullsseye scoring. 
Add a ball noise not working. Changed tilt feature & created a free game match feature,
 which has yet to be tested. Wire started for Tilt, Last Ball in Play, & Game Over lights. 
Rebuilt/changed extra ball feature & Red Hole scoring. Still need to build Extra ball
triggers. Backbox cable clean up eminent. Added 5x gate feature payout. 
The general feeling is i'm piddling around fine tuning the ruleset for gameplay. Which is to say, 
making little changes that result in a surprising amount of work. Left is clean up & art.
The game is nearly done sans artwork & general illumination & making it tidy. 
If i can stop wanting to tweak it.

March 2009
Finished sounds, may have some work to do on extra ball noise.
Squashed ball return bug during 5x bonus cycle, also shooterlane stupid ball bug.
Grooved shooterlane to prevent ball hang.
Cut glass for backglass, made rought template of playfield for art.
Have plan to defeat too many balls in trough game hang.
Expect to change pop/rollover relations, add 5x Gate feature payout, work on Tilt function 
& some lighting.
Playing quite alot. Thinking about cable clean up.

February 2009
Lots of progress, hope to have fixed ball count & ball return bugs.
Gate scoring bug mostly fixed, 3X relay buzz finally repaired.
Completed another complete re-draw & re-build of multiball feature, & jackpots,
 including Blue Target relay, and have hopefully debugged this system.
Proceeding with adding of bells, finally decided to mount the main unit on the front door,
 which required a complete rebuild & changeout of the front door.
About 1/3 of the sound is wired.
Added post to curtail Blue Target interference.

December-January 2009
Added switch to allow for possilbe single ball start up.
Moved pop bumper.
Added high score & red hole add a ball feature.
Thinking about physical modifications to outhole & trough ball management,
where to put the bells & stuff, & a relay for the blue target.

August-November
No progress. Home repair summer.
Hole management rebuild in test phase.

July
Gate feature now working correctly.
Been working on two coin per play option, thinking it's more work than i want to do.
First build complete failure.
Multiball lock problems have generated new drawing for Hole management, 
hope to start major rebuild soon.
Need to move top pop due to ball stick problem.
Gate feature fixed, appears working.
Rough drawings for noise completed.

 June
Currently i'm working on debugging & looking to install bells/chimes.
Debugging is proceeding, the game now ends correctly.
Working on gate feature problem.
