Play My Pong Game!

[Goodlookinguy]

I was messing around with this program I obtained called Multimedia Fusion 2, suggested to me by Atnas.

Anyways, check out the pong-esque game I made!

http://nrgsrpg.com/bin/Pong_Installer.exe (778KB)

EDIT: I've updated it, it now has far less back-and-forth in the same direction problems. No, I've not uploaded this updated one because I want to put a second level first.

Is it just me, or does the computer controlled bat just go up and down repeatedly?

If you want suggestions, then mine would be to make the computer bat smaller and have it move intelligently, but with a lag on the earlier levels. Play Curveball in the Arcade and you'll see what I mean.

What are the programming abilities in MF2?

Oh, and do you really need an installer? As far as I can tell, without getting silly and comparing every single file before and after installation, the installer puts two files into Program Files, and adds no registry keys - the game executable file (Pong.exe), and an uninstall executable (Uninstall (You Suck).exe). I've taken the game exe and put it on the computer downstairs, and it works fine. An installer is, to be honest, quite pointless. If you want to be clever then there's more worth in an extractor rather than an installer - run the program, it asks where you want to extract, and extracts it to there.

I wrote something and accidentally clicked on something right when I was going to reply, so I'm angry and going to make this short.

Yes, the right side just moves up and down which is why the bat is so large.
No, a installer was unnecessary.
Why did I do it? For laughs.
Are registry keys registered? No.
Do I plan to learn how to make the bat smarter? Yes.

Not too shabby honestly. How long did it take you to write the game?

Sorry for late response. Only around 20-minutes or so. It is similar to RPG Maker in a way. No scripting involved. Anyways, I'm not going to go any further with that program. I'm actually learning how to program games in Blitz language at this time.

couple things i noticed, dunno if your looking for more input still. the players paddle works way to slow lol. i was playing it missed one then the ball reset and rocketed past me 3 times. then tehre is the part where the ball gets stuck going up and down untill some unknown force kicks it the exact way you werent expecting. ;) i did manage to get 200 points tho lol

I never put up the updated version of the game where the up and down stuck thing never happens (or at least, I've never had it happen), and I increased the speed of the person playing by just a little. I honestly am not going to mess with it anymore, with that program. If I do, I'll tell ya if I update it.
