[CTP] Pong v3

[RatedMedieval]

Khao, mind submitting a few Screenshots on your website and linking them here?

This game kicks ass but here are a few bugs I came accross:
-when you start you can go all the way down and wait, you'll score a point every time the ball is served (Edit: Jawaking said this also)
-I don't know about everyone else but when i change a song myself while playing, the zune freezes gives me the 'XNA Game Studio Connect' screen saying Waiting for computer, then when you press any button it restarts :/ It also does the same when you attempt to choose music from the 'manage music' section. Although you can start music then enter the game and listen to it fine, and it also changes songs after a song ends fine and tells you the name of the song at the bottom right, but it also has the same error mentioned before if you try to change songs manually. But after looking at all of the posts i think it's just me idk
-There was one time where the ball dissapeared in the bottom right of the screen, don't know if it could be fixed but i wouldn't worry about it anyway since it only happened to me one time(Edit: just now noticed Mitch had the same problem)

I also have a couple suggestions :]
-sound effects and the ability to turn them on/off
-An Icon for your game in the games menu

Anyway I love how you implemented music to it Hopefully you can get it working right, i like it much better than how it's set up in rock rain sd(where it ends the song every time you get game over -.-)
Peace ;]

Fixed in 1.1

Other people got this bug.. I never encountered anything like this so I can't really know what's the problem.. does it do this everytime you select it or it happened a few times? If it happens all the time, contact me and I'll work a way of retrieving what is causing this, and will try to fix it.

I have no idea where this comes from :P But will try to find it

The icon is coming, I asked zuneicecube (he made the menu and background art) to make one for me, I could implement sound effects later, right now it isn't a priority.

Thanks for the positive feedback I really appreciate it, and it makes it easier for me to work towards new versions!

[DareckT]

Yep, no problem. And yes, it does everything i stated about the songs every time

Btw: that was a REALLY quick reply haha

[Khao]

What I'd like you to do is
1) Plug in your zune
2) Start Visual Studio and open the Pong project
3) hit F5 and start the game with Visual Studio still open
4) create your error
5) if an error message appear, tell me
a) the message itself
b) the line of code which created an error
Thanks!

[DareckT]

Hmm the 1.1 version doesn't do it...odd i guess it doesn't need fixed then nvm

Simply amazing :] Hopefully more people set their music up to work like this. I suspect we'll be seeing some pretty badass stuff from you in the future nice job bro ;/ l..l

[RatedMedieval]

Aw, I was really hoping it wouldn't look like the Atari version of Pong. Is it too much to ask for at least modern day graphics? ^^

[spenc938]

This is really good. I like it the best out of all the pongs. I particularly like the music abilities.

[29kratos]

thanks for the game

[Khao]

Again, thanks for all the feedback I really appreciate it
And keep looking since ionman just found out a way to make multiplayer games and I will use his code to make a multiplayer version of my pong game.

We fixed that in the next version actually

[DareckT]

Nice

[mikenike]

just wanted to add my vote for this as the pong game to beat

[miceylulu]

I found a glitch. My friend was playing (on Hard, I believe) and when the little ball/square thing scored in the very corner on their side, it disappeared and didn't get put back in play.

[soccerfreak24]

I'm excited to see mutliplayer implemented in this game, because this is my favorite pong 4 sure.

[mikenike]

yeah multiplayer would just put this game over the top

[Khao]

I need time to do it! I'm all excited about multiplayer too but I'm in my final exams right now so I need just a little time (I'm done with college next tuesday )

[Mitch]

Khao to fix the problem with it getting stuck between the wall and the end of the pong paddle, make it so that the ball can't collide with the whole paddle just the leading edge. I don't really know how you have it set up right now, but if it was only able to collide with the front edge it would be much harder to get it stuck.

Khao...
I get the XNA screen as soccerfreaks. it appears mostly when browsing for music inside the game or just using the menus.

There is a small bug when the game is playing songs. if the songs title have a vowel with tilde (á é ú o í ú) it display an error instead of the song title

Can you allow skipping and changing songs only when the game is PAUSED ? Sometimes when playing I press in the wrong side of the ZunePad and instead of the paddle moving the game skips to the next song.

Anyone able to post up screenshotS?

Edit: Nevermind... I cleared my cache and I was able to see them on his site.
