E2 | DBOX: Pong |
What started out as a mate of mine asking me if it's possible to make games with E2, turning into making a game console operating system to do just that!
After about 4 hours I made the classic game pong. It was 2 players, where the player could take a seat and start controlling the paddle, if a player was missing the CPU would take over. The images on the right show CPUs battling each other and the animated opening screen (an expanding coloured bubble with strike underlines appearing from the sides and settling in the center). I set up a lounge room with controllers attached to the chip with rope, when the players sat down it looked as though they were holding the controllers. So in turn I set up a power button for the chip and started writing up different games on it, using the existing functions. The other games I never finished but I later revived pong on my DGPC3. |
