ABOUT TPONG

Hi! This is strange, but I never thought the idea would get into my head that I should make such a game one day...
However, I thought about a new concept, because the original one was VERY primitive. So, I had an idea: why not make the AI unbeatable? It should be funny to play as long as possible against him! So, I decided to create Pong.
So, the goal is REALLY easy, just try not to lose the ball! A lot of people told me they couldn't play this game because it was too difficult. I don't think so. At the beginning, I couldn't score higher then 40 either. But after some practice, I really got better at it. Have a look on the high score table, you'll see ;)
If you're proud of all the high scores you get, don't hesitate to send me the file "scores.sco" and I'll add your entries to game's distribution package!
Oh, another thing: the AI isn't cheating at all! It just manages to anticipate everything and to add some effects on the ball.

ABOUT TPONG MINI

Why TPong MINI? Well, I once tried to set Tpong in 320*240 in order to see how fast it is. I was very amazed since the game was really great fun like that! So I decided to release a special version... In fact, I've just changed some things. Indeed most of the changes I've made are cosmetic ones. I also reduced the high score table to 5 entries instead of 10.
Be careful : Regular mode is far harder than before... I don't even mention "Hard" and "Unlimited speed" mode, they're both nearly unplayable!!
Here is the result, lemme me know what you think about it :)

📕 Description [fr]

Un Pong à l'aspect métallique, par Émeric Poupon.
Il utilise le framework Allegro.

Tpong est un Pong mono (IA) et multijoueur (en hotseat) sur un thème métallique avec plusieurs modes de jeux.

Le Pong est l'ancêtre du jeu de tennis informatique, son gameplay repose sur les réflexes et l'habileté.
En dépit de son grand âge, il reste agréable et simple, et tout à fait adapté pour quelques minutes de jeux.

🚧️ Installation ➜ 🚀️ Launching [fr]

Dans le répertoire src/ :
- effacez le fichier makefile,
- renommez le fichier "makefile.unix" en "makefile"
- et lancez en console dans ce même répertoire la commande :$ make

🚀️ LANCEMENT DU JEU

En console lancez dans le répertoire racine du jeu la commande : $ ./Tpongunix

🕵️ Test [fr]

🕵️ Test (5.2):
Probablement l'un des meilleurs Pong.
Interface, graphisme et effets sonores soignés.
Les raquettes et la balle ont un aspect métallique, leur rencontre donne un bruit métallique convaincant.
Les différents modes de jeux sont un plus. Il est un peu dommage que l'IA soit imbattable (ou c'est nous qui ne sommes pas bon ;).
Un très bon jeu.
