Provide way to enter score manually #1416

arthurlutz commented 4 years ago

I'm looking for a way to start using MPF in conjunction with an existing EM pinball as a side project, loosely coupling the two at first.

I would love to find a way to have MPF provide a DMD display (on top with an LCD or on the side with a projector) where MPF would be used to display information and in particular the highscores for people playing the "unconnected" pinball.

So my usecase would be the following (for now) : have some key + keypad (or keyboard to start) where you can enter a score and your name (or three letters) and use the score slides to display highscores.

I've tried modifying demo_man and bumped into https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf-examples/issues/10 and https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf/commit/191b4f209ee8297576b7604d20ff8287497184ce

Is there a way to start a game but then input the score ? Thanks in advance, the project looks great.

Thanks. I recently described the options for integration just the media controller here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/mission-pinball-framework-for-animations. Let me know if you have further questions.
