Hey guys, I've been learning graphics in C++ with SDL, I made pong for my first game (original, I know) and it sucks, so please give me some constructive criticism. I decided to make the physics so it would bounce the ball back at a semi-random speed, I think it makes it a little more exciting than the usual back-forth of pong. controls are w and s for the left paddle, up and down arrows for the right paddle space resets the ball r key launches the ball linux only at the moment I'm adding fonts for the score, the update will be posted soon |

Is there any chance you could post the source? |

Yes, but I think if you really want to try it that bad, I would just boot up and ubuntu live session. |

got around to setting up SDL on Dev-C++ today, here's the windows version if anyone's interested. Keep in mind, this was my first SDL game, everyone's got to start somewhere :p |

Great stuff, ball's not moving, even when I compile it. Seems like you followed Lazy Foo's tutorials  (they're good tutorials)
More importantly, where'd you get your avatar pic? It would look damn cool as my wallpaper. |

You should post the source though because I don't have Linux installed and I don't want to boot up with Windows. Plus, I'd rather see your code and learn from it because I'd like to learn how to use SDL. |

my bad guys, haven't been on the forum in a bit. 1.) The ball is a box because I have no idea, it was the easiest shape to make in 5 seconds in Paint .
2.) I don't know why it doesn't work, this game is crap so that's your problem most likely. My avatar can be found by google imaging fractal art wallpaper, and it's on the first page and of course is also my wallpaper :p. 3.) Sorry andrew, I don't even have the source anymore  lazyfoo.net has some great SDL tutorials though! |

And thanks for the SDL tutorial website. |

No problem! Good luck, SDL is the first step to major game development |

Haha yeah. This is a bit off-topic, but I've been playing around with pygame recently, does that use some sort of wrapper for SDL or do I have it totally wrong? |

I believe so. There's also a Ruby wrapper for SDL if I'm not mistaken |
