[CTP, Beta] Pong [Multiplayer]

MarcusMaximus · 05-08-2008, 10:19 PM

Due to popular demand, I bring you: PONG!!!!

you control the bottom paddle, I made it use acceleration to make it a little more interesting. If you don't want acceleration, you can turn it off in the main menu.
It keeps score and plays your music in the background(you can choose by playlist or artist in the Music page or in the pause menu) and also has visualizations in the background. You can press up and down to change the volume (up for volume up, down for volume down, obviously) while in the game.
Pressing back while in the game will bring you back to the menu and doing so while in the main menu will exit the game, doing so while paused will unpause, etc.
Also, it will now save your options(difficulty, acceleration and touch pad) and load whatever you were using the last time you played the game the next time you start it up

There is now multiplayer as well, so you can play with your friends! (try to set same difficulty cause otherwise it'll act a little strange)

Saving now...

EDIT
Ok, so here's what it's missing in my opinion. The ball moves much too slowly. Also, a pause would help. A scoreboard would also help. And finally, the paddles move awkwardly. They shouldn't keep moving after you've stopped clicking.

But it's a start, and a good one if you ask me.

so the paddle you control is very hard, it drifts. Second the paddle exts the screen at the top. And finally can you add touch?

MarcusMaximus · 05-08-2008, 11:44 PM

Alright, that should make you somewhat happy dustingrey. I don't think I'm gonna change the way the paddle moves. The acceleration makes it more fun(read: difficult) I think. Maybe eventually I'll let the user change it but get less points or something.

HaHa The game is hard (very), but really fun. BIG PROPS yo!!!

Awesome, just found that out from playing it. But is it supposed to always be moving(the paddle i mean)?
Pretty nice though...only downside really is that it freezes up when i try to exit

if ti reboots the zune when you quit its meant to do that as the XNA forces a shutdown to ensure all memory is freed.

Nah, i mean it freezes it completely.

Props to you my good man.

Killeroid · 05-09-2008, 05:22 AM

Awesome game. It would defintely be more awesomer if you can release a version in which the bottom panel is solely moved by user input. I hate how it keeps moving right now. Its annoying. Also, can make it so that, the users playlist which he/she was playing before the game keeps playing(the random song thingi doesnt work that well,the wrong plays at the wrong time).

Awesome game again, this and your version of tetris are my fave games so far

runtohell121 · 05-09-2008, 05:47 AM

AppleHater · 05-09-2008, 07:39 AM

Must not be supported with z80 because the sound/music works fine on my z30.

Techy Dude · 05-09-2008, 11:24 AM

yes pong thank you

egamerhdk · 05-09-2008, 11:35 AM

The game froze up and restarted in the middle of the game. Plus... making a start option would help. Whenever I lose getting -1 added to my score the ball automatically starts going. I need some time to get there.
