Wow, great stuff - PONG with plasma fluid dynamics!

http://www.plasmapong.com/


"PLASMA PONG is a variation of PONG that utilizes real-time fluid dynamics to drive the game environment.

Players have several new abilities that add fun twists to the classic game. In the game you can inject plasma fluid into the environment, create a vacuum from your paddle, and blast shockwaves into the playing area. All these abilities have fluid-based kinetic effects on the ball, making Plasma Pong a fast-paced and exciting game."



This was posted a few weeks ago. Very cool stuff.

Ah, sorry... missed that post!

anyway its cool :) fun for a few tries atleast. But its not framerate independant. i tried it on one machine and it was nice and then on my fast new laptop and it was almost too fast. ah well :)

i just had an epileptic seizure....

REAALY... hmmm I might be drunken.... ;)

It looks pretty but otherwise I think it's a waste of otherwise interesting fluid dynamics. I mean ... fluid dynamics - cool, pong - boring and old.

Yeah, may look awesome, but when you hook it up to a big screen, your eyes may start to go on you, so I'd hold off on a game like that...

It has been posted not once, but twice before.

It would be good if the paddle was a bit longer. Most of the time you'll feel like you hit the ball but you didn't. Hard to explain.

Flippin' awesome.

Hey CodeD!

Welcome back. I was just thinking last week that I hadn't seen you posting in quite a while. Glad all is well.

Yeah, Plasma Pong on a Plasma TV, how about that? I'd like to see Pong paddles and a ball burn right on into the screen (like having a piece of Atari on your television for the rest of your life). Hehe... :D
