This was the first program that I did first in C on Linux, then ported it over to the Prop. I would say the expirment worked out because I did pretty much the whole game in my C programming class, and porting it over was only a couple hours(mostly chasing stupid memory bugs that I should have known better then to introduce).

Awesome...

Works really great with my spinner...

Experience level:
[noparse][[/noparse] ] Let's connect the motor to pin 1, it's a 6V motor so it should be fine.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] OK, I got my resistors hooked up with the LEDs.
[noparse][[/noparse]X] I got the Motor hooked up with the H-bridge and the 555 is supplying the PWM.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] Now, if I can only program the BOE-BOT to interface with he Flux Capacitor.

Just out of curiosity, since you beat me to doing Pong...

Are you going to do the full Bontempi? and have the football game too? and the shooting [noparse];)[/noparse]

I have been wanting do a semi accurate Pong for a while, so I am glad I beat people to it.

Now you lost me on the quote, after reading that I am like WTF?

Also Bamse, that is sweet spinner setup, now you just need to build another one

I think I need a control panel with two spinners for a two player setup...

Ballbuster really feels like an arcade game when played with the spinner...

The SlikStik spinner is pretty expensive though...

It would be nice to find a cheaper alternative...

There were a ton of different pong games. I used to have one when I was little that was some kind of pong knock off, but got rid of it some years ago.

Anyway I updated my pong game so now it has sound [noparse]:)[/noparse]
