[History]
The first soviet arcade machines appeared in early 1970 and lasted until the end of the 20th century. At that time arcade machines were produced mainly by enterprises of the defense and military complex, and it is not surprising that each of them was worth like a new brand car “Zhiguli”. General in 70-90th about 70 kinds of arcade slot machines was made. Basketball is one of the game machines that was designed for two players. The point of the game: throw the ball in the opponent's basket, more than the opposite player. The playing field was covered with a transparent dome and divided into holes. Each hole has a pair of numbers for each of the players, by pressing the appropriate keys triggering the springs which directing the ball into the basket.
[Gameplay]
The game is built in such a way as to reconstruct as accurately as possible the spirit of presence near the table, one of the favorite pastimes of many children and adults. In this game, in addition to the single-player mode, where you will be able to play against AI of varying difficulty, there is an opportunity to try yourself against the same players as you. Currently, the game is limited to these two modes.
[Input]
During the development, I was trying to pay a lot of attention to detail, so there is no simplified control, you need to press the mouse button according to the hole where the ball is. As in the real prototype, the force with which the spring will hit the ball is equal to the time you hold the key.
