Pure Evil Mode

Updated 5/25/26 by unrared.

This mode is a random problem the player needs to deal with.

Activation

The file ./modes/pit/code/pit.py contains custom code which sets self.machine.game.player.evil_number to a random number between the current value of the player variable lap_count and the current ball times 10. So on a player's second ball with 3 laps completed, this value will be between 3 and 20. On the logicblock_seq_lap_complete event, the evil_number is compared to lap_count and on a match, the event pure_evil_enters is emitted beginning the mode.

Function

With the mode running, ./modes/pure_evil/config/mode.yaml subscribes to to the timer_eternal_tick event. Each second, 1% of the players current score is removed. Also, the pure_evil timer in ./pit/config/timers.yaml starts counting down 30s to ensure the player will only need to ensure this for a short while.

Deactivation

1. The s_disqualifier switch (drop target).
2. A ball ending via the ball_will_end event.
3. The pure_evil_exits event (currently only for dev use).
