Music

One part I didn't really care so far is the music of the game. The lite version of pong 2013 used the tunes from Tron Legacy but for this version (paid version) the music will be custom made.
I just finished to compose the menu tune which gets inspired from the old battle squadron tune. The wav is ready, I need to reduce it and convert it and, of course, fix it in the game.
I need to start to work on the "in-game" tune which won't be easy because the old one was just perfect. I see what I can do. Stay tuned.

finally iPong

Since we decided to call the final pro version of the game iPong not following the Pong 2013-14 lite/pro trend I kept using the old code for the game where Pong 2013 was showing in the menu area and on the top of the game screen.
Now finally the real name (iPong) is showing correctly with the right spell and the right font :)

Problem solved

Finally after more than 30 days of studying, debugging, coding and re-coding I found the glitch that was killing the game once the arcade gaming was over, no matter the result.
Of course was something very stupid and easy but, at least, now is fixed.
The arcade part of iPong is virtually over. Need to fix little "cosmetic" details and then I can pass to the new main menu.
I will change also the music with something I'm developing with good robot-voice samples.
Keep on reading.

Great Microsoft...

Thanks to the powerful resources of Microsoft after 24h I started the updates my PC where I code the games is still configuring the updates!
I hope I can manage to do something soon...

Updates

I just started to work on the code in order to find out a bad bug that mess the system up and guess what? The computer died.
I manage to make it work again but now I have to install something like 150 Microsoft updates...takes a while...

For whoever just connected to this blog I remind you that I'm working at the "pro" version of the following free game: http://appsandgamesdevelopment.blogspot.com/p/pong-2013-lite.html
The game will be called iPong, will be featuring a new storyboard, new animated backgrounds, a big tournament, characters and new weapons. As add-on we will launch also the the network version to play on the Internet.
Enjoy it.

We are back

Hi everybody

sorry I haven't been very keen in posting lately. I was very busy with finding a publisher for the game and with new personal projects nonetheless an arcade game emulator.
The pong game keeps on going and soon we will be ready to publish it.
I'm working now on few details such us the notes of the enemies and some graphic detail.
I'll post as I finish the whole bunch of phrases.
One important update: the game will be called iPong rather than Pong 2013 pro or Pong 2014. We think that iPong is way more catchy name.
