63 +When setting the PREDICTION_FRAME keep in mind, that predictions, that reach multiple frames into the future, are likely to be overwritten, when new frames arrive and new predictions are calculated.

122 +=== Inlane Area ===
123 +
124 +Since the trajectory prediction does not consider collisions in general, we need a different kind of predictions for the inlanes,
125 +i.e. the path feeding a falling ball from the playfield to the flippers, behind the slingshot.
126 +A ball is considered to be in an inlane, when it is in a rectangualar area, with one edge given by the begin of the flipper
127 +and the other by a point at highest, outermost position of the angled part of the inlane.
128 +
129 +In this area the vertical accelleration is deactivated in the prediction, since it would cause the prediction to assume the would slide into the wall.
130 +Though in reality the still is some accelleration, a simple linear prediction has shown to be practical in this less critical area.
