PONG x 3 : Mellow fun Monday - Programming Week! 1/5


Relax while testing your reaction time reflexes.

I didn't program this game from scratch (I modified a template), but I programmed it using Scratch.  [Haha.]  Anyways, "Scratch" is a free open-source programming language from MIT, a "visual" programming language one might call it (looking at it though, it's not exactly like LabVIEW, it's more like using blocks to replace some of the tedious-ies of text-based programming languages).  You can read more about Scratch and find more links on Wikipedia.
More bounces --> higher speed.

Goal: up to how high a speed can you keep the balls from hitting the ground?
