Hi everyone
I am excited to say there is now an offline single player version of Dragon Pong.
Differences
This version uses different sounds, and has a lot of new things in it.
I'm not copying, I even asked Dragon first before I released this thingy and he said it was fine.
So now, where to get it?
Go here.

Any negativity about this shall be ignored. Again the developer even says it's fine for me to release this. So, enjoy.

Thanks much,
Mason

Wow! This sounds really cool! I'm downloading it right now and I will be sure to leave feedback about its gameplay.

Hi.
Firstly I must say, nice work! It seems to be fun, until the invisi ball strikes. LOL!
And now for some bugs I found:
Firstly, I was playing, I think the AI had a shield up or was getting one, but somehow I got the ball past him and against the shield, but then the game froze and the ball just kept going from left to right on the other side of the court.
Then, when it's the computer's turn to serve, he doesn't seem very interested in serving. smile The game just hangs there.
That's all for now.
Keep up the good work!

I believe I found another bug. After completing a saved game, I decided that I wanted to play again. So, I press start game. The game then started without asking me how long I would like the game to be. When I press S, it tells me the scores, and then continues to say, this is  a game. It doesn't say short, medium, or long. Just, this is a game.

I can't download this game. I was redirected to a strange page in which there is an image file.

Well, Yukio, strange. But, in other terms,
I have released MTG Pong 2.0! Has a lot of new features, 16, to be exact. Download and enjoy. The version I released before was 100 times worse than this new one.
Oh. The link.

Hi,
Well, Dragon Pong is ment to be the two player version of this. This was intended as a single player version of that one as loads of people started asking for single player.

I think the only way to beat the AI is to get lucky and get an invisiBall when it doesn't have a shield.

Actually, there is something up here. The chance for the AI to get a special item like an invisiBall or a shield is about 6 times higher than the chance for the player to. This seems a bit unfair. I know you're going to tell me you didn't do this on purpose. SO look in your code to see where it issues powerups. THere has to be somewhere where you repeated it or something. This just didn't happen in dragonPong. And I know it's not just like a gut perception. I've actually written it down. Every time the ball is served, the AI gets at least 1 invisiBal, and 0.5 shields. It takes about 6 serves before I get 1 or the other of those. And when that happens it's almost always an invisiBall, not a shield. oh, by the way, you should be able to hear where on the shield the ball  hit it, instead of just this centered sound. Or make it so the ball becomes visible once i hits a shield, if it was invisible before.

Agree with key... and I think the AI needs to be tond down. Beating the game should depend  on more than just luck.I've scored seven points on it so far total, while playing amedium game.
