Pong 3d

For some reason I made a 3d version of Pong tonight, using assets from my Blockout game.

It's here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ib895y0a2 ... pong3d.zip

This is not an easy game :D Luckily enough, there are 3 difficulty levels. Easy should be quite doable, on Hard my highscore is only 4 points so far, and if somebody ever manages to score a point on God Mode...let me know! :mrgreen:

Controls are simple: just use the cursor keys. The trick is to hit the ball with the edges of the pad, as this changes the ball trajectory.

The game was made using the usual mix of cmdgfx/cmdwiz, and I expect it to run ok on most machines.

Fixed a bug in hiscore (there is one hiscore per difficulty) and re-uploaded archive

Added support to also be able to control game with mouse.

The mouse Left Key must be held down while moving to use the mouse to play (so as not to interfere with key controls)


Edit: playing with mouse is certainly easier... more like half cheating :mrgreen:

The archive was updated.

Two changes:

1. The game now has a bunch of sound effects, which makes it more fun to play

2. The "God mode" used to be unbeatable, which was rather boring. It is now changed and verified that it is possible to score (not easy though :) )


(rather interestingly I found out that on Win7, in order to play sounds using the PlaySound Windows API, the environment variable SystemRoot must be set)
