High-DPI sizing and a resizable client allowed the 640x460 canvas to be placed inside a much taller window, producing the large internal black band captured in the gameplay recording. Open an aspect-correct fixed 960x690 client with high-DPI framebuffer scaling disabled, giving every platform a predictable 1.5x canvas. Use exact active-table patches for the cyan score fields and derive transparent numeral glyphs from the recovered Win16 bitmap font. Fill the complete display slots, move the KBytes readout clear of its border, and place shortcuts on a readable footer so no dynamic text is clipped or left over an inactive panel. Test Plan: - `cargo fmt -- --check` -- passed - `cargo test --all-targets` -- passed - `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` -- passed - launched the Linux window and confirmed a 960x690 client with no letterbox, full-width cyan fields, recovered score digits, and readable footer -- passed - `git diff --check` -- passed

# TDK Pinball Machine for modern PCs
|
|
|
|
This is a native Rust reconstruction of the 1995 Windows game **TDK Pinball
|
|
Machine**. It uses the extracted original artwork and sound, recreates the
|
|
playfield as a fixed-step simulation, and runs from the same source on Linux,
|
|
macOS, and Windows.
|
|
|
|
The game opens at 960x690, an exact 1.5x enlargement of its original 640x460
|
|
canvas, so modern desktop scaling cannot distort or vertically offset the
|
|
pixel-art presentation.
|
|
|
|
The original program is not required at runtime. All required game assets are
|
|
embedded in the executable at build time.
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
Install a current stable Rust toolchain, then run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a distributable optimized binary:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo build --profile production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The binary is written below `target/production/`. On Linux, Macroquad's native
|
|
development packages are also required (X11, OpenGL, and ALSA). Windows needs
|
|
no extra runtime installation; macOS builds with the normal Apple developer
|
|
command-line tools.
|
|
|
|
## Original and modern controls
|
|
|
|
| Action | Original key | Additional modern key |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| Choose 1-4 players | `+` | `=` |
|
|
| Start or launch ball | Down arrow | Enter starts a game |
|
|
| Left flipper | Left Ctrl | `A` or Left arrow |
|
|
| Right flipper | Keypad Enter | Right Ctrl, `D`, or Right arrow |
|
|
| Nudge | Space, either Shift, keypad `3` | - |
|
|
| Help | F1 | Enter/Escape returns |
|
|
| Settings | F2 | - |
|
|
| High scores | F3 | - |
|
|
| Sound | F12 | - |
|
|
|
|
The five original speed choices are retained as simulation-detail settings.
|
|
They change fixed-step resolution without changing the speed of play.
|
|
|
|
The help screen is the original artwork in English, German, French, Italian,
|
|
or Spanish. As instructed on that screen, double-clicking its upper-left exit
|
|
box closes the program.
|
|
|
|
## Saved data
|
|
|
|
Settings and the ten-entry high-score table are stored as `save.json` in the
|
|
platform's normal per-user application-data directory. On first run, the table
|
|
is imported from the original `HISCORES.DAT` included with this reconstruction.
|
|
|
|
## Reconstruction status
|
|
|
|
This repository distinguishes exact recovered material from behavioral
|
|
reimplementation. See [RECONSTRUCTION.md](RECONSTRUCTION.md) for the evidence
|
|
ledger, known inference boundaries, and validation performed.
