I'm in the process of building a custom basketball arcade and had a few questions because I'm new to this arena of thought.
I need help with conceiving the idea of the scoreboard. I follow another thread on this forum that showed a way to connect a tv to computer and use a keyboard emulation for when a button is pressed or a basketball goes through and also the scoreboard template that could be used, but this is me right now trying to process that further:

because I have responded to the thread and haven't got a response in a week or so.
Does anyone have any advice on this? The things that I am trying to do electronically are:
Count baskets, start the game by button (lifts gate, starts time, then reverts the time and gate after timer runs course)
Have the Tv show what the score is.
I would like to google someone close to me for help but don't know what type of job that would be...
