More About Ping: A Pong Clone
Ping is not identical to the original. The most significant differance is the action of the ball when it hits a bat. Allan Alcorn's version would vary it's angle depending on the part of the bat that it hit. This game varies it's angle based on the relative motion of the bat and the ball. This allows greater control over the aim resulting in, I hope, a more interesting game. Allan Alcorn could not have pursued this style of game play as in his version the speed of the bat was not variable (there was no mouse to use as a controller).
<Boring details for nerds> Ping does not use flash or the html5 canvas. Instead it is achieved purely through manipulation of the DOM using javascript. This is an experiment to inform the creation of a 'proper' game engine. In this game engine the HTML5 canvas will be used but only for specific effects within each DOM element (principally physics (e.g per-pixel friction) and lighting effects). The purpose of this approach is to allow the browser to take care of the things it does fastest (i.e. rendering) while still allowing the flexibility and low-level accessibility of the HTML5 canvas.
