PinShotCaller is a compact tool for building a “pinball journal” for each table you play. You
can sketch or photograph (BKG) the playfield, mark key targets, and attach step‑by‑step
messages (with DMD text) that advance as you simulate shots. Use it to:
• Capture rules and scoring patterns for specific tables.
• Practice sequences repeatedly to build consistency.
• Demonstrate strategies to others by walking through the shots in order, with
on‑screen prompts.
• Save and share complete table profiles (artwork + targets + messages) as portable
JSON packs.

PinShotCaller has three tabs across the top:
1. Shoot – Run practice/demos. You “shoot” by clicking (or tapping) twice: first to set a
launch point, second on the destination for the ball (target). The app checks whether you hit the active
target, shows the message for that hit, updates the DMD banner, and moves on
when a target is completed.
2. Edit – Build the playfield drawing or import a background (BKG) photo, then add, edit, and
reorder targets. Each target can carry an ordered list of messages and optional DMD
updates for each hit.
3. Saved – Save, load, rename, delete, import, and export entire table profiles.

Quick Start (5 minutes)
1. Open Edit. Choose Draw to sketch lanes and ramps, or the Bkg (Background) file
picker to load a photo/screenshot of the playfield. Edit is also where you save your
playfield and targets to a pinshotcaller table (to export and save permanently etc.)
2. Add targets. Switch to Target mode and tap where a shot should register. A form
opens—choose the number of hits (e.g., 3) and write the message(s) for each hit.
Optionally add a DMD line per hit (appears on the Shoot tab’s banner). Save.
3. Reorder & refine. Use the T‑List to reorder targets (↑ / ↓), edit their messages, or
delete them.
4. Save & share. Go to Saved, hit Save in Edit (or use the Saved tab to Export
Selected as a JSON or HTML pack you can import on another device - HTML exports are also stand-alone viewable).
5. Practice. Switch to Shoot and press (re)Start Targets. Click once to set a ball, then
click a destination (the blinking target). Advance through messages and targets; the banner updates as
you go.
