http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=30021.0The project was originally built for a 1st year programming project (build pong, turn pong into breakout, turn breakout into something new). After meeting the deadline by the skin of my teeth, the project sat idle for a while whilst I took a break over the summer, then returned to it in February this year, updating to the version that can be seen in this video:
From there, after a request from a student to build a version of Pong, I went through the same workflow explained above to get the game to the current state with a couple of hours solid work then about a week's tweaking and refinement by gathering feedback from you lovely lot.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy the demo!
