This is the first game I've made. It's a Pong game with nice high-rez textures. It currently is in the HYPER game mode(read the about section). It can be found at http://cloud-pong.sourceforge.net/. Check it out and if you download it tell me what you think. [edited by - sMiLeY-jOnEs on January 25, 2003 6:57:02 AM] [edited by - sMiLeY-jOnEs on January 25, 2003 7:00:44 AM]

It needs some work. The messageboxes are onnoying when loading. A more graphical display would be nice.
Perhaps you can convert the textures to jpeg to save some space. 4 meg is a tad big.
I have only played it for a minute or two, but I haven''t found out how to change the background either.

Anyway, what I wonder is how you made the background. Did you draw a quad and filled it with the appropiate texture? Or did you do something else?

Another thing that I still have to figure out is how to make an installer. Any tips for me?

The messageboxes are there so you know that its not frozen and how long to go. I''m working on the graphical display e.g. menu and hud, once thats done there will be no more calls to windows functions.

I will use a smaller images like jpeg when I learn how load them. The background changes every 5 points you earn. Also If you play 2 player the controls are:

------
| UP |
------
|DOWN|
------
and
-------
|NUM 5|
-------
|NUM 2|
-------

To show the background I made a quad fill the whole screen using

  
glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.1f);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, lvlTex[level]);

glBegin (GL_QUADS);
    glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
    glVertex2f (-1.0f,-1.0f);
    glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);
    glVertex2f (1.0f,-1.0f);
    glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);
    glVertex2f (1.0f,1.0f);
    glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);
    glVertex2f (-1.0f,1.0f);
glEnd ();
