lol, another modification of jo3_sum's code.

still, it looks nice.

and still better than I could do.

like I said to Dark_Sabre, you should evolve this into something original. like a super pong or something, lol.

I've got some tricks up my sleeve that I plan on implementing

I wanna keep it a secret though :)

Anyway I will be uploading the version with multiplayer in a second...

EDIT: Oh shit, found a bug, better fix

EDIT2: Fixed that bug

[Dark_Sabre]

lol which one did you base it off? mine or Jo3_Sums :)

[Scorpus]

I built it off jo3's but I used some code from yours

[Dark_Sabre]

fair enough, and I know what you mean with the not reaching exit bug :) I had it when I started too.

awesome, looking foward to it. (:

nice work, i noticed it was really easy to beat the AI, me = 21 AI = 1.
it seems that the AI is almost exactly the same as mine, if ball is above bat move up etc
but it thinks that the bat middle is actually the top edge and continuously misses.
and the ball also goes through the bat sometimes, another bug which i encountered.
thats why i didnt make the ball go faster :p
i should really start working on that NOOB scarer in my program.... oops! slip of the tounge.

anyway, its great work, and better than the one i made, it should be cool if random things happen to the ball.
eg: when it gets harder more balls should spawn, that would make it really cool
or the AI should get double bats,
or (last one) her should be a (chicken?) that randomly runs around the screen, and you have to try and hit it with the ball.

so much better than mine. :D

[Scorpus]

Yeah I need to redo the AI, it's terrible

In the harder levels I have on my version it is a bit harder to win (21-18 was my worst score)

And I do have that tick up my sleeve

And yeah, a random event would be nice...

Nice release. I'm going to put you in the programmer's group.
