Scroll to bottom to see updates. PLEASE COMMENT ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU! Scroll down for instructions NOTE: this game is currently in development. If there is the word BETA and a .x after the version, then it is the beta version. Playing it in Beta mode might have some unwanted errors and glitches. Check back in a bit (a few minutes or longer) and reload the page. Use up/down arrows to control the blue paddle. Space bar starts the game. Hit D for difficulty Updates below. The red paddle will learn your motions and adapt to your strategy. The white ball will simply bounce around, hitting the blue and red paddles. If it glitches through the red or blue paddle more than 3 times, comment about it below. I want to know if it is just my computer, or the code I created. That is a very common glitch in this type of code. UPDATES: Ver. a.1.0 - alpha version. Ver. 1.0.0 - original version released to public Ver. 2.0.0 - added sound, tweaked A.I. motion. Ver. 2.1.0 - added score counters. Ver. 2.1.1 - Fixed a bug where the ball went through the blue paddle. Fixed a bug where the wrong score counter went up on scoring a point. Ver. 2.2.0 - Fixed score-jump bug where the A.I. score would increase forever on contact with the blue paddle. Fixed a bug where the A.I. paddle would sometimes freeze in place. Ver. 3.0.0 - Switched to vector graphics. Added randomly-pitched sounds. Ver. 3.0.1 - Bug fixes: Fixed a bug where the A.I. followed the player, not the ball. Fixed a bug with the A.I. step-offset script causing it to shake up and down. Fixed a bug where the A.I. could randomly teleport to the top of the screen.

Ver. 3.1.0 - added a ball speed selector. Added player paddle physics: the paddle will now bounce off of the ceiling and floor. Ver. 3.1.1 - fixed the x30 infinite acceleration bug. Fixed a bug where the player paddle would sometimes get stuck on the top of the screen. fixed a bug where the ball would go through the A.I. paddle. Ver. 3.2.0 - added a popup for scoring. (Thanks Jillian!) Ver. 3.2.1 - fixed a bug where the popups did not disappear after appearing. Ver. 3.2.2 - fixed a bug where the popups did not appear at all.

Ver. 3.2.7 - attempted to fix the low-resolution logo (but it didn't work that well)
I used a basic step-down algorithm to make the smooth motion. The A.I. uses a step-offset script to make it follow the ball and also learn about the player. Thanks to: Jillian and Nicolas for suggesting the point indicators.
