Re: [Audyssey] pong
Hi DJC, Yeah, I tried to slow the response down a bit with the joystick in Pong so as to make it the same as the keyboard. Guess I didn't quite get it. I really like a joystick or game controller. To me it makes the games seem more like a video game rather than a computer game. Guess just because of using a stick and buttons rather than the keyboard.

Re: [Audyssey] Pong
Intreaguing. Actually jim I've never personally seen an arcade version of Pong myself, being born in 1982, but the wikipedia artical said there were plenty around in the 70's. Your probably right about the rules, to be honest I was just interested, and these days looking something up on wikipedia is my usual response to anything I become interested in. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Pong
Hi Jim. the Wikipedia artical had a lot of history, but not much on rules of the game, though it does mention an on screen score display. I'm simply guessing the players got X amount of balls when they put a coin into the machine, and the score increased depending upon how long they lasted, but I'm not entirely certain on this. wikipedia seems to have failed on this point, which is slightly disappointing.

Re: [Audyssey] Pong
Hi Jim. To be honest, I no almost nothing about the intricate rules of Ping pong, or even computer pong (slightly before even my time). I was simply thinking in terms of game experience rather than simulation, giving the player some choice of game length when perhaps they'd rather not have a long game? Btw, you've got me interested now. obviously sinse your pong game doesn't have a net, and has balls bouncing off the sides of the playing area rather than falling off the table, it's more in line with the computer pong of the 1970's rather than table tenis. h, I wonder what the actual rules of pong are? too the wikipedia Beware the Grue!

Hi Tyler, Thanks for saying that you like the new version of Pong.

Re: [Audyssey] Pong
Hi Jim. Actually i like it in the kitchinsinc folder, it doesn't take up space or harddrive registry, has it's own directory, and keeps it's own records. a perfect game to spend a bit of quiet ball bashing with. My only suggestion improvement wise is that a litle more congrats when you win the computer, or at least some music would be nice. You could also considder different match types rather than just first to 11 or first to 21. Apart from that though, I'm certainly pleased with the game. Beware the Grue!

Hi Thomas, Yeah, those were the controllers ok. I never played break out or super break out.

And by then I could no longer see and gave away my Atari 2600 and Atari 800 XL home computer. So my sighted video game play was pretty limited. BFN Jim Vote YES for braille on speed limit signs.

Re: [Audyssey] pong update - Re: Unbeatable games
Hi Jim, Yep, those are the controllers for pong alright. I remember them clearly. They were rectangle shaped, black, had two rackets painted on the top of them, and it had a black wheel you turned left or right to move your racket around on the screen. As I recall those same controllers worked really well with Breakout and Super breakout. You could use the wheel to quickly center yourself under the ball and bounce it back into the block wall. That was a cool game that was more challenging than it first appeared as well. Jim Kitchen wrote: > Hi Charles, > > Yeah, I can't wait to play Pong with a Joystick.
