For those that have enough posts to enter the arcade here, surely you've played Pingpong.  It's one of those games where you control a paddle and must keep something on the screen, and not fall off of the bottom.  Well, I'm making a version in Axe. ;D  This version is meant to be played with the calc held sideways.  Up and Down move the paddle, and Enter pauses (It's a little too responsive atm).  You can press Clear while it's paused to instantly exit, or just wait until you miss, where you'll be shown your score.  Press Enter to exit from there.  :)
This game isn't done yet - I still need to code the menus.  Anyway, this is a very fun game as is, so I figured I'd show it to everyone as a work in progress.  Enjoy! ;D

Oh, and did I mention that every 5 hits, the paddle shrinks.  My high score is 75.  Who can beat it? :D

4 pixels is the minimum.  I could have made it one, but I think 4's fine. ;D

* yunhua98 feels that since ztrumpet's respect is above 42 now anyways and he doesn't deserve to be rated down, he would rate him up!

Anyways, I'm downloading right now...

EDIT:  I failed, got 47
But epic game!  Can't wait for full release!

* yunhua98 wonders if some day, the entire Arcade will be cloned.  :P

Seems pretty nice, I'll have to try this at one point. You should add some difficulty levels, like having the ball move every 3 pixels in hard mode. Nice program again :) You should upload it to archives once finished and readme done ^^

Okay.  Right now it's running at its fastest speed (unoptimized).  I should have three difficulties when it's done. ^-^

Thanks for liking this everyone! ;D

This is great! I got 58 on my first try. However, there should be an option to make the paddle shrink more quickly (like every 3 hits instead of 5), and you should be able to customize the starting paddle width. Other than that, though, this is the best pong game I have ever tried!  :P

We'll see.  I have an idea, though... ;D
