Plinko Pop is a design bench for firework shows. Build π¨ the shells, lay out the ground, write the cue list π, and see π whether the whole thing is safe and well paced before anyone lights a thing.
Start π at the shell. Choose a caliber, a break pattern π’ and a star pack, set the lift level π§ and the fuse delay, and the bench flies it for you: how high it climbs, when it reaches apogee, and whether your fuse breaks it at the top, on the way up or on the way down. Salutes carry no stars and break as a flash. Mines never leave the mortar and break at the tube mouth, so they carry no delay at all.
What you can build π¨ and keep:
- A library π of shell designs, each with its own star pack
- Racks and tubes, matched to the same caliber ladder as your shells
- Sites with real dimensions, standoff distance and ceiling
- Shows as a timed list π of cues, each naming a design, a moment and a count
- Load sheets that tell the crew which tube holds what
Every show is measured against its ground. Change the site ποΈ, the wind, the standoff or a single shell design, and Plinko Pop rechecks the whole sequence and tells you exactly what broke: a cue firing before the show starts, a salvo needing more free π tubes than you have, a break too low for the ceiling, a standoff under the minimum.
Then look at how it plays. The analysis view scores pacing across the cue list π and charts π the colour and caliber balance βοΈ, so you can see π the lulls and the pile-ups before an audience does.
A planning and learning tool π οΈ for show designers, students and the pyrotechnically curious. It is not a certified safety instrument and does not replace the rules that apply where you are firing.
No account, no internet, no adverts. Everything stays on your device π±. Open Plinko Pop and design your first shell.
Design a firework show shell by shell, then test its pacing and safety.
