By Jarred Spear Remixed from a game by SampleProjectTeam. This is a modification of the sample pong game. On a cosmetic level, I made the ball change color everytime it is hit. I also added a counter which displays the number of times the ball has been hit; a score, if you will. On a technical level, I made the ball increase in speed with every hit, so as to make the game increase in difficulty over time. Additionally, I addressed one of the problems with the original game. Originally, it was possible for the ball to travel and bounce exactly parallel to the 'lava', and never change its y value. This would make the game go forever without ever requiring the player to hit the ball. Now, if the ball's direction is 90, it will turn ever-so-slightly. Finally, I adjusted the starting direction of the ball so it wouldn't always come (very slowly) in nearly the same direction.
