I have been coding a freeware version of pong for windows, trying to give it a bit more skill, i made more options and gave it a tennis kind of feel. Sicne I could find no decently coded ones with the options I required I have done it instead. Will release it within 1 week. The features are:
6 AI's for 1 player mode (they have a reaction time and accuracy etc etc)
Rally challenge mode (i.e. seeing how long you can keep the ball going)
rank point system for 1 player mode
Stats saved
Schemes (so far only classic and space but not finished at all yet)
2 player mode:
Can adjust paddle speed, or auto adjust
adjust ball speed and acceleration. Can also choose start and finish speeds
paddles can move left and right (albeit slower backwards, since you cant run back faster than you can run forward)
ball can be tactically sped up by moving at the correct times (bog standard simulation of tennis forehand and backhand)
You may choose to allow paddles to leave game area
paddles can be allowed to shrink
Paddles can be forced to move towards the cenre and veto left/right movement
presets such as classic and extreme
64 total ball directions (NO CRAZY ONES that ruin so many pong games)
Fully custmomisable Controls keyboard/joypad
vsync option, high priority option, force 16 bit colour options
name input
Data saved in encrypted database
Setting stored in ini
NO INSTALLERS (crappy windoze registry! ;) )
------not done yet-------
2 ball mode (theoretical option to allow 2 balls in 1 game)
3-4 player mode, including 2 on 1 (would have to be 4 joypads, keyboard wouldn't cut it)
Sound (this will also change depending on schemes)
POSSIBLE update to AI to allow it to detect whther to choose parts of the screen wheer you are not a majority of times rather than random paddle hits
I think that is all. I hope some of you will test it when I have completed. The first test will be in under 1 week:) Much is still to be done, and any comments will be appreciated.
