A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

As the first exercise in the "20 Games Challenge" created by SDG Games, Pong was simple and fun achievable project to work on. Hitting the ball with the side of the paddle doesn't count, but perhaps due to the physics rate (of which I'm a little scared to increase), sometimes visually it looks like you should have hit the ball (the collision sound might even play) but it still counts as a miss. I'm not too sure on how to make the AI more interesting, but it's quite beatable even with its tracking of the ball.

Controls:

up & down arrow keys - control the paddle (left paddle in SP and right paddle in MP)

w & s keys - control the paddle (for MP left paddle)

Esc - pause or unpause the game
