That's a really nice idea (and I love that clock!).

One of my friends when I was v. young had one of those plastic 'stick the bits together, drop marbles at the top and watch them go' sets (I have no idea what they're called) and I used to love that.

You were probably thinking that, but the contact could just be the two metal guiding rails wired up to a switch - so when the ball touches them, it completes the circuit.  You would have to electrically isolate the final piece acting as a switch from the rest of the rail somehow.

If you do anything, be sure to update this thread so I'll get notified (I don't browse the boards that often).

The game was called Marble Madness I beleive (yes, like the arcade) those were a ton of fun until you accidentally picked up a marble not meant for the game and it got stuck somewhere ;).  Either way they were a lot of fun 'back in the day'

The only problem with this idea is when you want to continue.

It better not be a very long maze it is falling through, or you may find yourself starting over an aweful lot of times. :)



Other than that, it sounds like a pretty neat idea.

when you are about to lose your last life push the button for another ball to drop, so you get the credit before its time to continue :P
