The project is undergoing major technical improvements ahead of its eventual public debut, including an overhauled sound engine capable of handling ambient noise and force-based attenuation. Recent functional additions include an in-game part manipulation editor, script-controlled camera orientations, and offscreen TypeScript rendering running alongside an Asteroids-style mini-game. Future work will introduce a dual-monitor backglass system, an upper playfield, and community-sourced table artwork.

I have been working to add features, squash bugs, and improve the performance of my Linux pinball simulation engine this week. It will be fully FOSS, but it needs some more work before it's ready for an initial release. I hope to show it at the 2026 IAAPA Expo next week to some vendors to gauge their interest in support of Linux and FOSS.
Here are some of the things I completed recently:
- New sound system allows for easy attachment of sounds to parts. Multiple sounds can be added each with their own volumes.
- Ambient noises added for most everything, including ball rolling on the table, slingshots the ball hitting rubber or metal. Sounds are attenuated based on the forces applied.
- Physics are greatly improved. They are by no means done, but I have been running simulations on them over and over to try to narrow down which settings seem to work for the most realism.
- Added console system, Typescript can now do offscreen rendering, added an Asteroids mini game as a…
Community feedback gathered from 1,385 respondents will guide the organization's upcoming 2028–2032 Strategic Plan following high ratings across core services and industry reputation. While overall satisfaction remains strong, regional knowledge gaps surrounding leadership processes have prompted calls for clearer organizational communication. In response, leadership is prioritizing practical deployment assistance and training to support regional Internet development.
As Singapore prepares for the upcoming northeast monsoon season, national water agency PUB is modernising its emergency response to safeguard low-lying areas vulnerable to flash floods. Despite decades of infrastructure work shrinking the nation's flood-prone zones to under 25 hectares, localised inundations remain an operational challenge. The new technology adoption aims to enhance worker safety while speeding up drainage efforts during extreme weather events.
The amphibious machine enables Singapore's national water agency to clear submerged basements, underground carparks, and tunnels without placing human personnel in dangerous conditions. By doubling the pumping capacity of existing portable units and deploying across difficult terrain within minutes, the unit accelerates crisis response times. This strategic upgrade helps safeguard critical urban infrastructure as seasonal storms increasingly overwhelm traditional drainage networks.
