48 Hour Pong Updated Again

New features:

• New background music
• TRIANGLE button changes background effect between: lines, visualizer (synched to music), static image or none
• SQUARE and CIRCLE now move your paddle as well as LEFT/RIGHT or the analog
• Slams added. To slam the ball simply push UP when the ball is near your paddle and it will slam into the ball. You get 3 slams per game.
• START button pauses and unpauses the game

You can change the background music by replacing the music.ogg file with one of your own.
Also the static background image can be changed by replacing the background.png file with a different one (480x272).

The screenshots of the visualizer do not do it justice. In gameplay it looks excellent.

Holy crap, that looks amazing. Good job!

if you updated
is it really 48 hour?

The first release was done within 48 hours, so the name will stay.

now about this 48 hours
is this 48 hours of work time
or just two days including sleep and such

also
does it include ideas floating around
and was anything premade
gooo

looks awesome,

For the first release I started on a Friday PM and released on the Sunday PM.

I spent about 20 hours total time within that period coding, getting the audio, doing the textures etc.

The only things that were pre-made were the OGG playback and the TrueType font renderer, which I took from another project of mine.

Both of the above are available on my website.

wow thats crazy man. great work.

wow I wish I had that kind of talent and preserverance

Very nice!

Thanks!
