A classic (pong-like flash game)
« on: May 18, 2011, 06:00:18 AM »

I've got this one in my "Bored" file in my Bookmarks :P


http://www-03.ibm.com/linux/wimbledon/tennis.swf


I can get really close to beating the computer, but what gets me is that the ball is served immediately after one side or the other misses. I miss two or three in a row sometimes because I didn't know it was being served to my side. But I'm getting better.

Also, the ball gets moving so fast it's just a blur. It's a wonder I can keep up at all!

I think my best score was 13. Still playing...


EDIT: Aah, never mind, finally beat it!
EDIT: And I won again! I just had to play it a few more times before posting. Wee!

Got to 12 then started hating the red player!
Wow that ball goes fast!
And how unrealistic!?!?!?!?! In REAL Tennis, the ball doesn't bounce off the sides of the court!
Stupid game!
I really like it ;D

Managed to get to about 12 on the third(?) game, then the computer started to pull some neat tricks on me, and I lost.

:huh:

Pretty good. I like it.

Finally beat it, 15-13.

Can be so annoying when the server is so quick so you lose a couple of points on the trot. That and when it passes within a millimetre of your paddle and still misses. Sigh...

I'm hooked! The best score so far was 13/15 and my worst was 3/15. Curse that impressively skilled red player. ;D



Edit: Getting closer....14/15

It's funny because my problem in the beginning, why I had so much trouble winning, was that I didn't click the blue guy to start. The instructions are to click the blue guy, and your mouse will be centered where you click. I was clicking anywhere on the screen and so my mouse wasn't centered on the guy and so his movement wasn't quite matching up with mine.

Not that I can beat it now :P
