On June 21st, I decided to write a Pong clone. - after 9 revisions, its ready to go in its original black&white beepy glory.
MiskieGames Pong --v 1.9
June 26th 2010
Features:
Full Screen Mode as well as windowed. 1024x768 resolution in both cases.
Single Player Mode.
Mouse control in single player mode.
Heart Pounding Pong Action !
The Full list of keys..
Right Player = Up and Down Arrows.
Left Player W = Up, S = Down.
Single Player = Mouse control.
P for Pause - any key unpauses.
Q to quit to menu
New Game = 5
Escape = Quit to desktop.
Game begins after five deep tones. Winner is the first to score eleven points.
When a point is scored, the ball is served to the scoring player from the center of the net.There is a two second delay before each serve. Mouse available in single player mode only, as it is an unfair advantage against a player using just keyboard. This was an executive decision, and is not a bug.
Known Bugs : None
Bugs Solved : Mouse Drifting. Attract mode.
Other: Game now boasts a splash screen and a functional attract mode. after the end of a match, the game returns to attract mode after a few seconds. a game may be quit at anytime via the Q key. This is the final release version, barring any bugs. Enjoy.

It *should* work on any Windows flavors from XP up, but if it doesn't, I'd like to know about it. Just extract it wherever you have room. The program is freeware, it contains nothing harmful. It writes, saves, and connects to nothing.
