I made a simple "pong" application, based off the original expert-
pong.rb from the samples directory, but with some heavy modifications
and the addition of sound effects using bloopsaphone. This was my
first Shoes app, and it was a lot of fun to play with:

The way I wound up adding bloop sounds was to run each sound in a new
Thread. I tried a few other ways but this was the only one I got to
work right. Also couldn't figure out installing bloopsaphone as a gem
in the Shoes gem repo, so I just built/required it manually instead
This is using Shoes 2, BTW. Haven't been able to get Shoes 3 working yet
Enjoy. Let me know if anyone has suggestions on better practices for
using Shoes & Bloops
