Converting my Pong Clone to TGB

So trying to get back into TGB Game Building since I now have OpenGL working under Windows 7 without the graphical glitches and on an ATI Card, I will be converting my Pong Clone to TGB. Shouldn't be too hard.

I will try to make it play the same as this version. It would be great if I could get the ball to bounce a little more effectively. I still have all the art assets which I will use for this. This could end up being a weekend challenge for myself.


These are the instructions for my original version.

The game will start when the serve button is pressed. After that point the ball will move toward the opponent. If the opponent hits the ball it will be sent back towards the other player. It will continue doing this until the ball is past a paddle. When that occurs a point will be added to the score of the player who got it past their opponent. The ball will automatically be served from the player who scored the point. This will continue until one player scores 15 points at which they will be declared the winner. Pleae be aware there is a funny glitch that occurs when the end of the paddle catches the ball. It will cause the ball to behave erratic. It's kinda funny to watch.

Nothing done this weekend due to crappy time for me to get sick.
