I was bored.

I had nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon, so I decided to do some programming. I haven't programmed for a while. And that's why today I just finished my pong clone. For now, there's not much to it: no points, no online multiplayer, no AI, no menu, just the kind of tiny game you play when you have a few minutes to waste.

 

What I plan to add

Even though this is just a tiny game to kill some time, this probably won't always be the case. I plan on adding a menu, some settings to change the colors and the difficulty, an AI (that will probably suck, I tried doing that before), and maybe even online multiplayer. Or how about music? Anyone could make some music for this game? :D

Controls

Right paddle:

Up: Up arrow key

Down: Down arrow key

Left paddle:

Up: W

Down: S

Quit: Escape (or close the window)

That's it for now. I might also add a pause key later on.

The window is of that size, so you won't see much and it won't be playable
