This is genius:

I think zooming should be an explicit feature in the game (which triggers some behaviour/state change in the game besides zooming).🙃

"Lethal Enforcers" -

Finally bodged together a station where all (well... some) of my lightguns can do their thing. Shooty shooty bang bangz...

This rig should allow me to play lightgun games on , , , , and , and maybe an AY-3-8500 "" clone console too.

And it's only taken me 14 years since we moved here to get this sorted...

If I really want to, I can run cables over from / 2, , . But I don't really fancy those games on a 14" screen!

Un día como hoy se lanza el videojuego

En este juego una pelota flota hacia atrás y adelante a través de una red que divide la pantalla del televisor.

Dos jugadores utilizan botones para manipular paletas y golpear la bola.

¡Evita la pérdida del balón y gana la partida!

🕹️ I wrote a tutorial to help you build a pong game using the latest version of and with .

🏓 I'm pretty proud of the guided part, as I was able to break down working in the Godot editor and then code, so the only bouncing back and forth is in the game of .

🧑‍🚀 Give it a try, and let me know what you think.

🙏 Boosts are appreciated :)

Even for a layman like me to watch the animations looks fascinating.

Played some on that physical table you might have seen: http://kck.st/2mnPIcm

A fun idea, but the controls are sluggish as hell. Rotating the handle hardly moves your paddle, unless you give it a good spin. But if you do, there's some delay to come to a halt. Very difficult and frustrating. Hmm, perhaps with a lot more practice?

After at most 2-3 bounces, one player scored. So the match was over very quickly. And then the winner doesn't even get to keep playing on the same coin… ( ̄^ ̄)
