Visual Pinball is an open-source pinball table editor and physics simulator written in C++. It lets users build, edit, and play virtual pinball tables, including emulations of real machines via PinMAME, with rendering backends for DirectX, OpenGL, bgfx, and VR.
Use cases
- simulate and play virtual pinball tables on desktop
- design and edit custom pinball tables
- recreate real pinball machines with PinMAME emulation
- set up a virtual pinball cabinet with configurable camera views and backglass output
- play pinball tables in VR or on mobile devices
- script pinball game rules with Visual Basic Script
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source pinball simulator with a large library of community-built tables
- you want to design or rebuild your own pinball tables with a live editor
- you are building a virtual pinball cabinet and need flexible display/output support
- you want cross-platform pinball including Linux/ARM, macOS, iOS, and Android
When to avoid
- you need a modern general-purpose game engine rather than a pinball-specific simulator
- you require extensive official documentation and onboarding - docs are sparse
- you need commercial licensing or support - the license is custom/non-standard
