Atari Wants To Reinvent Pong

[wraggster]

Atari is offering up to $100,000 in a contest for a new version of Pong (http://www.i-programmer.info/news/144-graphics-and-games/3932-pong-developer-challenge.html), the classic game that launched video games 40 years ago, for the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. The judges for the contest (http://www.atari.com/pongdeveloperchallenge) include Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, who came up with the original idea for Pong. So, what does a 21st century Pong look like? How does it play? And what role does touch have in this, the simplest of games?
