well, here it is: http://gp.batcave.net/Pong.jar (You must copy/paste, server doesn’t like hotlinking)

It’s a java3d pong, it’s nice but very boring… it’s pong!
the game-basics are done but i hesitate to go deeper and improve it, since it’s boring (and a lot of work!)…

If you don’t have java3d’s runtime installed, you can download them here: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/download.html

…and, does it run well?

EDIT: press space to throw the ball or when the computer should throw it. moving = arrow keys.

#2

Simple, but well done. I was getting about 120 fps. Is it supposed to run in fullscreen mode? It tried, but conked out to a window.

#3

yeah, right, it’s windowed, fullscreen is (maybe) for later. thanks for the input.

#4

Nice nice nice … make it multiplayer!!!

Can the ‘AI’ be beaten ?

#5

yes and no…
no because the paddle moves “jumps” in front of the ball everytime, and yes because the “jump” occurs every 30ms, preety fast, huh? so, if the ball moves really really fast with a big lateral move, it is possible to win! (i succeded once during the testing!)
