It is (un)surprisingly simple to create a playable pong — I had a simple prototype version that can be played in hotseat done in something like three hours yesterday, and it runs fine under the linuxes I tried. The game looks like a bastard child of a wireframe drawing and the boredom right now: given that I have approximately 0 readers right now, I won’t feel bad by not publishing the source code yet. As you can see from the screenshot, it would be the hottest hotness — if this was a year of `75.
Up to the drawing board! While nothing will make this dumb game really fun, I would love to make it neat enough that my kids would play it for something like 5 minutes. Yes, they’re small enough not to care about GTA yet.
