MVPPong / News: Recent posts

It's taken a while to do it, but with the release of 1.0.5, MVPPong version 1.0 is finished. The two main features of this update are decreased lag and collision detection at the corners of the paddles.

My goal for 1.1 is to code in a more complete set of ball physics based on exactly where on the paddle the ball collides. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Windows-compatible executable is now available! Just download the mvppong.zip file and follow the instructions in readme.txt to get the game installed properly. I've included the source code, even though it's pre-compiled, for your perusal.

I've also noticed a bug where the game starts before you actually press space. This will be fixed in the next release.

I've added the first full version of the game, complete with a makefile. Note that the makefile does NOT test for the existence of the Allegro library--still working on that. Windows users might have trouble with the make because it uses `allegro-config --libs` to link the Allegro headers. I'm not sure how Windows cmd works with allegro-config.
