    Cool When Kez gets bored... He writes games!

    http://www.stevekerrison.com/programs.php

    I've written "Ping" today, which is a clone of "Pong" of course!

    It's a game for two players, or one if you really feel like it...

    Sadly I don't have any friends to enjoy it with, but perhaps some of you might!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Not at all - one of you has to move the bat to get it to go flying off at an angle... just got to wait for the ball to get fast enough and for the other person to not be ready!

    $s = new signature();

    The ball speed starts at 100, and goes up 50 every 5 seconds (I think, lol.) So it should get as fast as an Integer variable can handle... then crash, lol.

    32-bit unsigned int? Will take a while...

    (((((2^32) / 50) / (60 / 5)) / 60) / 24) / 365 = 13.619252 years

    Unless my maths is dodgy anyway!

    Not that I'm bored and have nowhere to go on a friday night!

    Well, I think this demonstrates that I'm not the only bored person today!

    In that case, can you do a little experiment for me and see if Malfunction's calculation is correct?

    Let me know in 13 years....

    hmm, collision detection needs work, it appears to be going through the bat (doing the bouncing thing)
