Pong Solitaire v0.1
In a recent post I talked a bit about how I want to start doing some more development in my spare time again. And I actually have been working on, what was supposed to be, a really simple game. As usual though, what seemed simple on paper, got quite complex as things progressed.
So I've decided to take a break from that project and make something even
simpler. And what's simpler than Pong? Over the last two nights I've be working on this little game (found below). It's kind of a mix between Pong and Break Out. It's as mundane as Pong with the Single-Player-
ness of Break Out. The goal is just to keep the ball up for as many hits as possible.
I have lots of ideas on how to add to this, and will post updates on this blog as I do so.
You will need to install Flash Player 10 to play it, if you haven't already. Please post any bugs you find in the comments section!
Edit: July 8th, 2009 - Looks like the font didn't get embedded properly and so it shows up as your default system font (probably Times New Roman) on everything but the Press Start screen. I'll put in a fix in the next version.(Play Fullscreen)For anyone who is curious: this was made in Flash 10 with ActionScript 2. The fully commented source can be downloaded
here. You will probably need Flash CS4 to open the fla file.
