Paddle Wars


Unsurprisingly, one of the first games I learned to code was Pong, Video Tennis or Paddle Wars - many names, same game - for BASIC on the BBC Micro. I returned to it once again when starting out with QBasic on DOS, however I hadn't made a newer version since then. Always a good way to crack the ol' coding knuckles, I decided to make a Flash/AS3 version with an easy skinning system for making themed variants.
Developed in 6 hours, this playable version here was a homage to the good old Atari VCS system, skinned in that classic wood & black-plastic casing with paddles, game-cart and all!
