Storyline would handle everything after the user drops the ball, so to speak. Motion paths, triggers, and a dial would make this project come to life. My favorite part of this project is a Pachinko style ball animation. As the ball bounces down, it can randomly go right or left (depending on a Storyline variable randomly selecting a 1 or 2). It came together quickly and I was happy with the results.
