Whiteboard Pong

In this example, I have applied the whiteboard animation aesthetic to the game of Pong.

NB. This one may take while to load.

Insanely difficult Pong

A combination of some of the previous variations, this MTV branded game is a new twist on the game of Pong. Warning: it's deviously difficult.

Something a bit different

In the example above, which I have branded for MTV, is some simple Flash animation. Refresh to view it again. Note that to start this, click where it says 'Hit space to start'.

Two player Multiball

In this example I've added a load more balls for the players to cope with. Try and hit all those back! I've also added some background changes when a particular ball hits a paddle.

Moving horizontally

A simple modification to the code and I could make the user's paddle move horizontally as well as vertically. In the example above I also applied a simple flashing background and the tune from Pacman.

Changing ball speed

I found it's possible to change the ball speed on hitting the paddles. I applied this to the above file in which the ball gets increasingly quicker until it becomes insanely fast. The user also has a larger paddle in this one.

Glitched Pong

By fooling around with the code a bit more, I found you can change the paddles to take on different shapes. This one is a bit werid and almost unplayable at times.

2 player pong

By applying the code for the left hand (user-controlled) paddle to the right (AI) one and changing the x and y values to minus it's possible to have a 2player game.

Controls:

• Player 1: UP & DOWN
• Player 2: Tab and Shift

Altering the ball

I started to play around with the code a bit. It is possible to change the ball and paddles to movie clips and create a bit of a themed scenario. The head being smashed around here is just one I grabbed from Google images.

Regular Pong

A 'regular' version of Pong. Plays a bit slow but all the functions are there. You can play forever!

Pong Blogger

This blog documents a mini-project exploring variations of the classic game Pong.

A spin off from Illarterate, it will include a number of frustrating, interesting or otherwise notable versions of Pong I'm creating as an experiment into the game.
