Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Decent pong game. It is a bit weird that the ball disappears or teleports or who knows when it goes out of bounds at the top and the bottom.
  • Interesting concept, but a bit buggy and slow.
  • It took me playing this to realize pong is more like air hockey than like ping pong. I really like the concept of the moving walls and the ball teleporting when it hits the gaps.
  • Interesting take on pong, though collision seemed a bit flaky

Really cool concept :)

The only negative is that when the ball hits the top or bottom walls it teleports to the opposite side, apart from that its a really cool concept, well done :)

That's definitely a bug and not a feature, it's meant to bounce off the inside and the ends of the solid pieces, and then if it moves into a gap between two pieces and goes behind a piece, it teleports. The bounce works correctly if the wall is stationary or moving away but if it is moving towards the ball, well, you get the incorrect teleport. I coulda fixed this but I was running into technical issues with zig making the binary too big, and even small changes were causing it to grow too big.   

Coulda woulda shoulda
