Interesting View On Ping Pong Game

I don't know if this has been posted about or said already but a friend of mine was messing around with my phone and checking out the games I had for it and noticed that if you play Ping Pong in landscape, with the keyboard showing, it's just like playing the good old classic Pong. I thought it was interesting.

I am the developer of PingPong and you are correct... well kinda. I tried to make ping pong so that it never actually rotates to landscape mode. So if you want you can just hold the phone sideways and play with the keyboard in...
I have been thinking about making some big updates to PingPong as I have learned a lot in the month since I released it (android features and coding techniques that I picked up while making WordWrench and BreakTheBlocks) BUT PingPong is a top 10 game in its category that has over 75,000 downloads and I am not sure if I want to mess with a good thing. I am open to hearing any thoughts on updated PingPong or simply ideas/requests for PingPong or any of my other games

Did you get the idea for break the blocks from an old atari game? I remember playing a similar game as a kid that had multiple players and same basic idea.

my personal inspiration is from a game on my TI-83 calculator... but the first game of this type was called "Breakout" and released on Atari, the next game of this type was called Araknoid... and now it seems that most people think of this type of game as "BrickBreaker" from the BlackBerry platform
I personally just think it is a fun game and a game that I would play over and over again... I think I almost have the gameplay issues sorted out, (optimize it further to remove the occasional lag of the ball, do a small graphics update, and decide if I need to further tweak the ball speed), maybe completely update the sounds, and then focus on making new levels for the paid version of the app

Best suggestions ever.

1. Every time the ball hits a board it makes a super exloding sound that will rock the balls of the player beholding the Gexcalibur1 (that's what I call my G1).
2. Ricochet sounds when the ball hits the wall. Remember that scene in Robocop when there were these criminals in an arcade and some dude was holding this little turd hostage and Robocop didn't have a good shot, so he had to calculate where to shoot his gun so it would bounce and hit the bad guys? That scene will pop up in my head every time the ball ricochets off the wall. Holy crap just imagining these two ideas makes me want to pay $50 for this super awesome game.
3. After about 50 bounces, you reach level two which takes you to a sidescrolling beat 'em up where the two Pong boards have to fight there way through enemies like Super Merio and Tonic & Sails. The only way that the Pong boards could redeem their lost respect as a video game is to rip and tear... 1 gut at a time™.
(Make sure to have bullet time effects, the ability to reverse time, and awesome CG FMVs that will make Konami recall MGS4 due to embarrassment of their inferiority (which reminds me, make every FMV 3-4 hours long (about the battery life of the G1)))
4. Level 3 - FPS. Trackball as cursor control, touch screen is player movement, set in World War 2, my ideas are the best, your head is exploding.
5. Fund it.

is there a game like flight control on windows mobile?

i played this on a friends iphone and instantly got addicted.
would appriciate a link if such a game exists.
thanks in advance

bump. anyone?

oohhhhh, yes please. i played this yesterday on my mate's iphone, and it was very fun. it looks like a flash game, so i would expect something to be out there, or something to become available ey.

need it too

me too, I love that game and moron test is so funny too!!

This the game where youhave flights coming in from different directions on the screen and you have to navigate them to a landing stirp or off the screen? (hazy memory, sorry!).
If so then I've definitely played it on either a touch Pro or the Xperia, so I'm sure it's available somewhere... god knows where I found it though.

for blackberry... can't find anything for wm though

Its for the Diamond.
I'm going to give it a go in a minute.

A similar game as flash version
For all how can't wait anymore.
The game as flash version is not as good as the orginale.

Best Game ever and no one tried to make it ?

and the lack of a decent flight control game for win mo sums up in a nutshell why my next phone will be apple built.

iphone is missing a lot of basic, fundamental features. up here they're portraying 3gs as a huge innovation because it can do copy-paste.
why not get something like a psp if gaming is really that important?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV - Turtles in Time
Tetris 2
Tetris Attack
X-Men - Mutant Apocalypse

Yea im downloading it now. these emulator have been great. they run 100% with sound off. sound on it still runs pretty good. worth the money.

Okay I kinda want to download an emulator, but I'm not sure of where to get the Rom's. Or do they come with the emulator? If not, then where do I get the Rom's from?

google for them...

where can I download a copy of this app? I've been waiting for an emulator for my
g1 I was > < close to going back to a windows mobile based phone

market! go go go

its no longer in the market...did they yank it like hair in a girl fight?

its definitely still there

My G1 is currently being replaced, however there is another snes emulator that is said to be out by end of June... supergnes (www.supergnes.com) so I might wait for that to compare..but nesoid and gensoid are both solid emulators, so I have no doubt this one is just as good ^-^ Will have to give it a real review tomorrow when I get my phone in the mail...
BUT...can some one post the games that don't work too well? That'd be pretty helpful!!
^-^

The only game so far that I've tried that had a little trouble was Killer Instinct. I was suprised it ran at all but it didn't run well at all. So far though Link to the past, super mario cart, and a few others ran great.
One thing I have noticed is the key bindings don't stay and I have to reset them everytime I play. There was an update for it recently and haven't played it since then. Anyone else get this?

I don't appreciate you taking my signature picture, maxdamage2122.
Please remove it.

Good to know, thanks!! Really I just want my Bahamut Lagoon, FF's, Link to the past, and a few others, Tetris Attack included! But its good to know that one on my list works fine.

downloaded yesterday and didnt notice any noticable difference when i updated, other than that its well done and im a champ at super punch out and mega man x

i DL yesterday but Mario World 2: Yoshi's island lagged so much and could get Mario RPG to work so i refunded. I'm waiting for that other SNES Emulator to come out in late June. If anyone was able to find a Mario RPG to work on the snesoid app plz let me know...its a deal breaker for me.

If you are a gamer, there are hundreds of worthy games that play great on Snesoid, so worrying about $3 in relation to this seems superfluous. I have tested over 150 roms and this emu plays 95% very well- and I am a picky SOB.
Cannon Fodder
Sensible Soccer
all FIFA's
NBA Live
Mario Allstars
Metroid
Contra 3
Space Megaforce
Tetris 1,2, Flash etc (and all are way better than the market Tetris)
NBA Jam
Mortal Kombat 3
Raiden (Not as good as Sega or Turbgrafx version, but plays great on Snesoid)
Rock N Roll Racing
Kirby's Avalanche
Every baseball game I tried (about 12)
Supernova
Gradius 3
Parodius
Side Pocket
Mr. Do
Etc, etc
This emu is amazing and well worth $3.

hey nice signature picture maxdamage2122, mind if i use it? Ill totally give u full credit lol
also, this emu is freakin sweet!

LOL are people seriously crying about someone using a picture in their signature? Boooo hooooooooooooooo LOL wow.

dont know how but when i paid 2.99 for this some kind of way it give me a backup of the apk file on my sdcard

Play Call of Duty? Check this out

http://www.callofdutymappacks.com/ A website here which has a list of all the map packs currently and soon to be available to the COD series. Since there are so many out there at the moment it's a nice way to view them all and what they offer

Which system you play on?
I play on the 360, Memphis Vito.
I love Nuke Town.

Playstation 3 comeradealexi
Have it on PC too but it was far to buggy at the start

So easy to dominate on Nuke Town it's actually kind of insane.
I bought Black OPs and I think I had close to 16 hours played, prestiged and grew incredibly tired and I ended up returning it about 3 days after the purchase.
Extremly excited for MW3.

Yeah MW3 should be awesome XD any one considering battlefield 3 though?

I'm planning on both. They look extremely enjoyable and nuketowwwn ftw! Awesome search and destroy map
Sent from my SilverBullet 'HTCDesireZ running CM7'

For those who have Nuketown i'm guessing folk like the smallness about it lol cause first strike has a stadium map which is really good and small too!

Not really a fan of stadium. But nuketown is addicting. There is just something so homely about slaughtering people in a nice house

Stadium is ok if you have some nice spots.
I have never played single player mode, **** looks boring.
I play Zombies a lot. So this new pack is a must for me.

Are ya'll gonna miss the zombies though in MW2? Cause if they have another spec ops type thing then i'll be very happy

I hope so, too

I got burnt on Nuketown - but it is fun getting First Blood medals on there.
Mostly playing Dom or Ground War with some HQ thrown in to get my Prestige.
I love Stadium for rushing.... too much fun.
I like the new maps as they seem to be pretty balanced. The only one I can't run very well is Hazard - too much sniping for my tastes.
I'm looking forward to BF:3 when it comes out - but will be playing it on CPU instead of Console.
If anyone wants to... I play on PS3 - gamer tag is avgjoegeek (go figure?)

Kinect? Worth it?

In a bit of a quandry as the Kinect's are on sale at Best Buy for $99 and I feel like Im burning a hole in my pocket. Anyone use this frequently? Worth it? I have my daughter every other weekend and she uses the Wii like crazy but I'm wondering about the adult applicability factor.

Played it a few times at a friends house and I like the bowling on it way better than the Wii. In my opinion it is worth it so long as you are getting a compatible game with it or you already have a game that works with it

For kids - probably great.. for adults? Depends on what kind of games you're into. If you're into the dance dance etc. games... probably awesome. If you're into FPS' and the like, probably a dud..

My kids like it but I have yet to play it. My wife did right after we got it and it damn near gave her a heart attack. When I helped them set it up it seemed like it was having difficulty tracking them. We got a new tv and I need to move the sensor up, hopefully that will help. Also, when our dogs happen to walk in front of them it screws up the tracking as well.

I've heard reports of people having to move the TV in their room because there wasn't enough space in front of the camera for it to work properly, and I've also heard that you need a tidy room as too much clutter can confuse it.

Video games are meant to played in a sitting position with a bag of Doritos (other ****ty tortilla based snacks are available) on your lap....
Shame on you people with your desire to move and stuff.......

There seem to be more promising games coming. The favorite at our house with Kinect is the Dance Central games. Rise of Nightmares looks pretty cool, and I never buy games like that.

I love it and i am 24
Just make sure you get kinect sport,kinect sports season 2 and fruit ninja
Those are the best games for it
I also like being able to talk to my xbox and browse hulu plus and netflix via voice and hand gestures and telling my xbox to shut down.
I think its worth it and is great to play with your friends.

keep checking sites like AMAZON....price drops all the time....

Anyone knows pc games that support kinect device by factory? I have read something about drivers that allow kinect to use it as input device or mouse for paint and general pointing actions but i don't know it about gaming use for example C.O.D. III
NickFee

I own one and... that's great! Btw more and more cool games are out

For me just singleplayer gamer is kinect useless but playing with friends is totaly best
