Introducing Classic Pong for Windows Phone

I decided to take a break from Flashdeck a few weeks back as I was getting fatigued and frustrated at making the same thing for so long and I had encountered a few challenges. In that time I’ve worked on a fun side project in XNA.

I decided to make a Pong clone for Windows Phone and it is finally finished. Features include:

• Classic Pong gameplay
• Use the colours of your Windows Phone theme
• Use the orange and blue colours of Valve’s Portal game
• Sound effects
• Two game speeds
• Multiple score limits
• Persistent settings
• Share your scores on social networks
• Play by yourself against a AI opponent, or against a friend in multiplayer

It’s been good making something in XNA again after Sweepy Cleaner, and not as challenging, which is what you want in the Summer break. I submitted the game today, so should be up on the Windows Phone Marketplace next week. I’m looking forward to it!
