Yep. This was the "Pinball Construction Set" by (as you said) Bill Budge.

The other really awe-inspiring Apple II pinball game was "Night Mission
Pinball."  This game had a set playing field, but it offered zillions of
configuration options.  Truely amazing.

Taking a look at both of these games is definitely a step in the right
direction for the design of a Software Pinball Machine.
