Elastic collisions, flippers, bumpers. Press Z/X for flippers, Space to launch!

Pinball is a hands-on demonstration of elastic collision physics. Bumper hits conserve momentum and energy
(coefficient of restitution near 1). Flippers apply angular impulse to the ball. The trajectory is highly sensitive to
initial conditions — a hallmark of deterministic chaos and Hamiltonian mechanics.
Z = left flipper, X = right flipper, Space = launch.
