Try it out and tell me what you think.</p> <p>Special thanks to dw817 for play-testing.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Feels WAY better in full screen.</p> <img style="" border=0 src="/media/63962/pong_1.png" alt="" /> <img style="" border=0 src="/media/63962/pong_2.gif" alt="" /> <img style="" border=0 src="/media/63962/pong_0.png" alt="" /> <h1>Controls</h1> <h3>P1:</h3> <p>Use Z or X to accept/continue/etc.<br /> Up and down arrows to move/select.<br /> Left and right arrows to select difficulty.

I thought I'd start with a classic.<br /> It took around 3 hours to code, most of which was fixing the collision detection.<br /> I ended up using some workarounds, including hard coding the take-off directions.<br /> (Edit):<br /> Fixed the takeoff by using a dy variable instead of direction, cos and cosine<br /> because I couldn't make it bounce correctly.<br /> The add-ons took about another 3 hours to code.</p> <h1>Credits</h1> <p><strong>doc_robs</strong>: Made the collision function.<br /> Coding and art (or lack of it) by me.<br /> Inspiration from playing the original PONG.<br /> Thanks to Lazy Devs for tips and tricks.</p> <h2>Versions:</h2> <p><strong>V1</strong> Released<br /> <strong>V2</strong> Added &quot;English&quot; spin<br /> Added cpu smart A.I.<br /> Changed ball speed<br /> Changed paddle speed<br /> Changed paddle size<br /> Changed hardness ratings<br /> Fixed collision issue<br /> <strong>V3</strong> Added quickstart<br /> Added insane hardness<br /> Added game over noise<br /> Added magnet mode<br /> Added extreme logo<br /> Added multiple ball spawn<br /> Added additional cpu support<br /> Added extreme mode<br /> Added extreme magnet mode<br /> Changed ball speed<br /> Changed player speed<br /> Changed menu x2<br /> Changed cpu targeting<br /> Fixed balldust direction<br /> Fixed player info display</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=46905 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=46905 Wed, 09 Mar 2022 00:59:04 UTC
