No THAT is a fun version of pong.. Love the idea of the spin!! This is going on my games Folder for sure

PS: My only comment.. Better read me.. Your readme is (a) in french and (b) says player 1's contols are Z and S, but when I played the computer it was up and down..

Thanks Nicholas,
In fact, Z & S are player 1's controls but when U play alone U are the second player.
I ll make a new readme for this forum!

Agree with read-me file is a bit "poor"...
But the game is quite nice & interesting..
Reminds me this far far far 1978 when I played for the first time with pong...

The paddle movments are way too jerky, for both you and the AI. And your own paddle control is too innacurate, it runs at 45 FPS here and I can barely tap my arrow keys slow enough to position the paddle precisely.

Really?! I found the control nice and responsive.. Maybe a better approach would be a momentum/friction model.. Its quite easy to do.

Everyone gets 45FPS, I think he limited it.

ah so you're the old one!
Zio Guido!
great nickname, you have to change your nick with "Aunt Guido"
Well, i can't talk anymore, i'm 31.....

About lift pong:

Great work for the first game you make, but you have to make some extra things like powerup, bonus, etc.
It's better the readme file is in english, i hate to say that, but you have to write it in english and maybe with more explanation like how the lift effect works.

anyway, good job, keep it on.

Guido, vai a dormire che sei vecchio ed รจ tardi!

I found the lift effect was more like spin.. Try to hit the ball with the paddle moving (ie not stationary)..

Sorry im french & I thought "lift" means "spin". So if someone doesn't saw before, when U move the player just before hitting the ball, the ball will have a spin effect. Depends of the point where the ball hit the player and depends of the move before the hit.

Sorry for my english i hope someone understood me

Sorry for my english, im french
