That's right! Our projects were due today so, here's version 1.0 of Pong-Karuga. I'll spare all the boring talk about the bug fixes and features I've added and just let you all get at it.
A word of warning, the game only runs at 1280x800 and in windowed mode (resizing is disabled) so if you've got a smaller resolution it may not fit correctly.
Yay pause menus!
So now for the instructions:
- If you're running on Vista it may not run very well and you'll see some weird extra space below and to the right of the game (but still inside the window). Having XP on our laptops, and no Compiler on my desktop, I'm not quite sure how exactly to debug/fix the problem so... play it on XP.
- Just unzip the contents of the package to wherever you'd like
- To run it, just double click the "Pong-Karuga.exe" file
- In the main menu, use the arrow keys to navigate and Enter to select your option
- The 360 controller works as well. DPad and Thumbstick both work and "A" selects the option
- In the game "P" pauses the game (when the pause menu is open use arrow keys and Enter like the main menu)
- You can check out the rest of the controls in the "Controls" section of the main menu.
NOTE: If you get an error message telling you that you're missing "XInput1_3.dll" you can download it right
here and drop it into your Windows/System32/ folder. That should fix it up for you.
So, without further adieu, here's the download:
Pong-Karuga v1.0
I hope you all enjoy! If you find any bugs or have any suggestions let me know and I'll try my best to keep the game updated.
Adieu, for now.

A question: How do I get it full screen? Tried many things but it doesn't show very well on my (old shitty) laptop. What I've seen so far is really cool. Well done.
Umm...to quote the blog,"the game only runs at 1280x800 and in windowed mode (resizing is disabled) so if you've got a smaller resolution it may not fit correctly."
Also, I didn't know they had name-brand bags of dicks. I thought there were just the generic versions you bought at Big Lots.
I had to disable Full Screen mode because of some freezing bugs I was running into so, for now at least, it's stuck at a little over 1280x800 (because of the title bar, menu and frame border). :( Sorry.
I'll probably keep working on it over my Christmas break the next few weeks and I'll definitely be adding resolution choices and Full Screen support. I just didn't want to be crashing peoples computers with bugs on the first release.
Yeah, I'm sorry, didn't read. Was too excited to play it. 1280x800 is fine. Don't worry about it dude, it looks and plays like a charm. I like it a lot.
Thanks man! It makes me feel great to know that somebody other than me likes it :P
