request_to_start_game

This is an MPF Event

The content on this page is technical documentation for an MPF Event.

This event is posted when to start a game. This is a boolean event. Any handler can return False and the game will not be started. Otherwise when this event is done, a new game is started.

Posting this event is the only way to start a game in MPF, since many systems have to "approve" the start. (Are the balls in the right places, are there enough credits, etc.)

This event does not have any keyword arguments
