Remember when the International Flipper Pinball Association released an API? We do, fondly. And we dunno if you noticed, but we’ve been using it on our site. (also, the IFPA website was made by one of our admins!!)

This is a follow-up to this blog post about pinball machine name standardization and why from our standpoint it’s annoying to have 4 different editions of a machine.

Hey folks! We’re selling Pinball Map t-shirts, featuring our original app logo by Drew Marshall. The shirts were screenprinted by Tony Koch in Pasadena. He did an outstanding job with the colors. They’re really vibrant!

Here’s a simple example of using the Pinball Map API to do something cool. In this post I’ll give a detailed how-to (with PHP and jQuery examples) so that you can implement this feature on your site.
