	These are modes that are specific to the game in question and relate to the theme or specific special devices included in the design. They can also fall outside regular gameplay - for example, ''Bally Safecracker'' has a special ''Assault the Vault'' mode triggered by using a unique token in the coin slot. Or ''Williams Black Knight'' and ''Time Fantasy'', which have a special post-game timed mode governed by time earned in regular gameplay, where you have unlimited balls to score extra points.

	The programming language being used is going to be dictated primarily by the hardware control system chosen. Off the shelf systems such as '''[[Construction#Off-the-Shelf_Boards\|P-ROC ~~or Fast~~]]''' have a close relationship to '''[http://github.com/preble/pyprocgame PyProcGame]''', which is dedicated exclusively to the P-ROC, or the '''[https://missionpinball.com/framework/ Mission Pinball Framework]''' which supports ~~both~~ P-ROC and ~~FAST~~ and is a ~~more~~ higher level programming framework.

	For more lower-level control, there is the [http://github.com/preble/libpinproc libpinproc] library for P-ROC boards, which allow binding into other languages and building of custom frameworks using things like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer SDL] or [http://www.sfml-dev.org/ SFML] which provides access to ''OpenGL'' and other graphics APIs.
