The Four Player Coffee Table Pong Video Game.

Step 16 Playing the Game.

Instructions

• Turn the Super Pong Table on via the power switch and you will be presented with the spinning "SUPER PONG TABLE" title screen.
• Press the mode button to switch to the player selection screen. You can press the player select button here to cycle through one to four players. Arrows will point to which players will be playing. You can then press the mode button to start the game.
• You will be presented with a countdown timer that counts from 9 down to 0. Once it reaches zero, the game will start.
• The balls will start from the center of the screen and move outward. You then need to move your bat to intercept and hit the ball back in the opposite direction. If you miss it however, you will lose a point.
• The first player to reach 20 points wins the game - and they will be presented with a "YOU WIN" animation.
• You can then press the mode button to reset the game back to the title screen.
• I have also programmed in a spinning star animation to act as a 'screensaver' to access this screensaver you just need to press the player select button while on the title screen. To exit, just press the mode button.

Well, that's it for this instructable. I do have plans to update and improve on this game in the future including things like:

• Sound FX
• Ability to shoot other players
• Display an actual score
• Computer players to control all non-human player bats
• Make the ball speeds angles and start positions more random
