Hope you enjoy. Ok so the title of this game may need changing

hehehe

Get me some feedback! any at all, improvements, concerns, bugs.

I would be most pleased to know:

If game runs good in linux and vista
If game controller accepts setup

To start go to>setup then set your player modes (2 player mode is customisable) then back to the main screen and select new game

Also see here for other notes>

note also that to perform a Super ball you need to press forward at the correct time, just before the ball makes contact. This will help especially against federer remember this is a incomplete alpha really

Hi seiferalmasy. I checked out your game

I'm playing it for about an hour now, this is what i found out:

In 1 player mode, this is almost impossible to score playing medium or very easy level (I couldn't score anyway ). The neat trick is that if you don't move, you'll eventually (fifty fifty) score after 5-6 hits. It appears that cpu doesn't like when you take no action.

In 2 player mode, I couldn't move horizontally. Is that the concept?

Classic table (without colours) is the only one where I could hear when ball makes contact.

In space table, a ball is a little bit unspotable. Moon looks cool, but if you play federer...

Generally, your pong runs perfect in XP Home sp2.

ah good job

I played it a few times... but i think the computer enemy is unbeatable
Can you make it a little bit less difficult?

I also noticed that in many setup tabs, there was A LOT of empty space, which i think doens't look good.

The graphic's could be improved too... you could use a goodlooking ball image for a start :razz:

But i see your on the right path... keep up the good work!

As said AI is unbeatable,

runs fine on XP PRO sp2

=)

[seiferalmasy]

Ai is not unbeatable, just very very hard, especially federer. Stop moaning you wimps! (I have beaten federer 10-7) I finished tge game I created. Take it you still stuck on Auntie Audrey rank or Liquid paddle

You must go up to the fence with your paddle and execute the fast ball tenchinque at higher AI It becomes impossible to score away from the net in the end.

get playing hehehehe

I will see about that bug of leaving the game and scoring How do you mean after 5-6 hits it gives you a point? I cant replicate that?

and as for being stuck in 2 player mode, you must choose to "move left and right" and uncheck "force move to centre" this will allow you free movement Mess with the options and you'll see

and finally, there is only small sound for table tennis mode at the minute this is very early version of the game

Hmm, there is something not quite right with this game. I have just played for 10 minutes and not scored once. The enemy bat travels the height of the screen, even if it has to go from all the way from the bottom to the very top. I think that the enemy moves too quick on level 1.

So before you slag people off for being wimps I think you may need to revisit your game. If a person just starts they should be able to expect a fair game. Why do people play again and again? Because they are sure they can beat the computer. Well after playing for ten minutes and not scoring a single point I gave up. There appears to be no challenge.

One other thing, the game starts and the ball is fired towards you immediately, I lost 3 points just trying to work out the controls.

BTW I just fired the game up and used file "new game" - I changed no settings.

[seiferalmasy]

oh come on czar it was obviously a light hearted dig Not an insult!

I assure you it is beatable, There paddle speed is set s is the speed of the game, if 1 slows down, the other is bound to but I will have to see what you mean?

[czar]

Yeah I understood that - I didn't take the wimps part seriously. I meant to say that it is not mainly the player at fault it is the difficulty curve of the game. It starts at a very difficult level - which will put off the player.

[seiferalmasy]

I set the difficulty at the peak to be a challenge to me, I know this means its gonna be hard as nails to some It takes me many goes to beat federer and soemtiems very hard. But the rest should be dooable, esp v easy-normal. As long as you move to the fence. If you are experiencing problems with very easy and easy, then it is more than likely not your bad play, as noone should find that hard

Let me know specifically whats the problem....move right to the fence and tell me if its still too hard.

Also note that rally mode, I can get 263 and thats not really trying. But again, everyone should be able to get 100+

[seiferalmasy]

I just gave the game to a friend of mine, a girl who is really rubbish at games. she lost 2-10 aghainst the easy mode (and normal) on her first go and admits she could have done much better,

So, either something is happening to make it harder for you or...you are not moving off your spot and playing the fence will need to know. Keep me posted ppl and thanks so far!
