## Analysis

Turner Pinball is developing a new pinball game and providing behind-the-scenes coverage of the whitewood prototype and playfield preparation for TPF (a major event). The speaker shows two versions: a code-testing whitewood with basic wiring and switches, and a playfield-in-progress with light inserts cut for major shots. They plan to display a final version at TPF and will share additional sneak peeks throughout the week.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Turner Pinball is developing a new game to be shown at TPF — _Speaker states they are 'going to take to TPF' and 'bring it to tpf to show you all'_
- [HIGH] The whitewood is being used for code testing and shot placement validation — _Speaker: 'one of our whitewoods that we've been using for code testing and also just making sure that the shots shoot properly'_
- [HIGH] The playfield prototype has light inserts cut for main shots but still has significant assembly work remaining — _Speaker: 'we've got the light inserts cut for all of the main shots' but 'it's got a little ways to go before it's ready'_
- [HIGH] Most switches and coils are wired on the test whitewood, but ramps, wire forms, and lights are not yet installed — _Speaker: 'ramps and wire forms are not on this one' and 'most all of the switches and coils are wired'_

## Transcript

Alright, I want to give you all your first sneak peek. This is one of our whitewoods that we've been using for code testing and also just making sure that the shots shoot properly and just getting placement of all these different things right. So you can see we've got some things cut where we moved it around. Also you'll notice that the ramps and wire forms are not on this one, but we've got some switches that we use to test the code. Also got the basic wiring all on this one for our code test. We don't have any lights on this but most all of the switches and coils are wired and that lets us make sure that our code rules are working properly. And then over here we have the playfield that we're going to take to TPF and you can see it's got a little ways to go before it's ready. but we've got the light inserts cut for all of the main shots so that when we're playing the game we can see exactly what shots we're supposed to be making and this is what we're working on right now just trying to get our code tested and get the final version assembled so that we can bring it to tpf to show you all so as the week goes on i will continue to show you some more sneak peeks and behind the scenes of what's going on
