The Mission Pinball Framework

The Mission Pinball Framework is being built by pinball-loving volunteers who are building, maintaining, and supporting MPF in their spare time. Everything we build is completely free & open source, even for commercial use. We do it for the love of pinball!

Podcast: Learn about MPF on the Boom Go Pinball Podcast

In April 2016, MPF developer Brian Madden spent 3 hours talking to Adam Godfrey on the Boom Go Pinball Podcast about the Mission Pinball Framework. They talked about:

• How MPF came to be
• Our approach to pinball software
• "Programming" with config files versus "real" code
• What's new in MPF 0.30
• A walk-through of how you implement game logic in MPF
• Our long-term vision for the future of MPF

Adam broke the conversation into three separate episodes:

• Part 1 (43min)
• Part 2 (53min)
• Part 3 (83min)
