Pinball Machine: Cloud-Connected Retro Sandbox Gameplay

In order to concentrate on game coding and cloud integration, built it on the foundation of a commercially available programmable pinball machine

Initially, it seemed impossible to incorporate all of the services desired into the code that would operate on the pinball machine

The next version of Backlogged Pinball is already in the works, and it will include features hadn’t initially thought of.

At Google Cloud Next, assisted users in creating custom Cloud Run services that can process pinball machine, send messages back to the machine

To manage authentication and message delivery via the REST API, created a lightweight Pub/Sub framework just for the pinball machine

Google cloud concluded that Pub/Sub would be a great approach to accomplish this. It offered a simple method of transferring data to the cloud via a single interface

Finding appropriate libraries to connect Google cloud pinball machine to the desired cloud services proved to be challenging
