Does the shaking even do anything in this game?

I recall shake/tilt was most useful in the sections of the field where rolling over a sensor would toggle a light, and lighting all three toggles yielded a prize. There is one cluster at the top centre, and another in the left purple platform. The ball is moving slowly enough here that a nudge can send to one toggle or the other.

I bought this knowledge with my uni gpa, NO RAGRETS.

Definitely. Looking at the code it weirdly changes ball accel, which is not how nudging works in actual pinball.

Possibly because it's easier to approximate the ball's position moving vs the table than simulating the table's position in space moving (which is what happens in real life with a nudge?) and the ball's trajectory not altering?

Does x help you avoid that deadspot in the middle, where the flaps cant reach?

Exactly what I was looking for for my non-US keyboard :)
