Pit Mode

Updated 5/23/26 by unrared.

This is the base mode a game begins with on ball 1. Much of the default/global config lives here.

Custom Pit Class

The file ./modes/pit/code/pit.py contains some custom code.

When the pit mode starts:

1. All 4 segments are cleared.
2. The method update_progress is hooked into the event player_pit_eternal_tick handling the indication of state on playfield inserts for common patterns.
3. Sets the name player variable (Juan, Deuce, etc.) per the player number.
4. Randomly assigns the evil_number for the pure_evil mode.

Base Functionality

• Base scoring is here from ./modes/pit/config/variable_player.yaml.
• The ball_start ball save lasts 10s with a2s grace period.
• Shows for the ball save, the pit arrow, swerve and fuel are from ./modes/pit/config/show_player.yaml.
