\"EarthshakerHey Everyone,<\/p>\n

I finally got around to starting my Earthshaker software rewrite project.  I decided to call this project Earthshaker Aftershock.<\/p>\n

Overall Goal:<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe plan for this project is to redo the entire code for Earthshaker and take advantage of it’s great playfield layout.  As we all know Earthshaker is a great game as it sits, but I feel it could be so much more.  I will be posting updates throughout the project and I hope to have something to show for Expo next year!  Let me know if you guys have any questions or suggestions.  I am always open to feedback (positive or negative).<\/p>\n

This code will not be for sale but will be available on my GitHub account for those of you who want to check it out.<\/p>\n

Please note that this code is built on the P-ROC and Procgame framework and cannot be run on an Earthshaker machine without extensive customization to the machine hardware itself.<\/p>\n

Software:<\/strong><\/em>
\nI will be adding all new mini-modes along with new audio and display interaction.  I will keep the game easy to understand for novice players and deep enough for the most experienced.<\/p>\n

Hardware:<\/strong><\/em>
\nI have in my possession Earthshaker prototype #2 (at least most of it) and I will be using that machine for my software re-write.  I do not plan on adding a DMD, I will be using the stock Alphanumeric displays (Thank you Jim).  I have also acquired one of Mark’s System 11 P-ROC interface boards!  This project is going to be great.<\/p>\n

Updates:
\n<\/strong><\/em>I will be updating my topic on the Pinballcontrollers.com forum with technical updates.  You can visit the link here: http:\/\/www.pinballcontrollers.com\/forum\/index.php?topic=1001.0<\/a><\/p>\n

As a first update, here is a video of my proof of concept code which allows me to test all of the hardware interaction with the P-ROC and the computer.<\/p>\n
