I'd like if the powerups were moving though, maybe just vertically to make the whole game a little more dynamic.

I decided, what better game to make on one screen, than the first successful video game ever? I just made better graphics, and added some power up things. These enable the user to completely destroy the computer he\/she is playing against, because the computer can't use power ups. The game's simplicity and multiple goals (beating the computer and getting power ups) makes it very fun, whether you want to play it for a couple minutes, or for an entire hour. Feel free to post high scores!\r\n\r\nI used Code New Roman as the font in the game, just so I don't get in trouble with Open Font Library or whatever.","title":"Advanced Pong"}
