The keyboard input was clunky, meaning that when I pressed the up and down key, it didn't necessarily respond. From this, I can only presume that you are using something like DirectInput or GetAsyncKeyState(or the equivalent), which is completely unnecessary in a game like this.
Visually, the game is looking good. You already stated that your collision detection needed refinement, so I won't re-mention that. The numbers were difficult to read because of the weird font, however.
So, you've got a working game, with a bug or two to work out, and quite a bit of polish to put on. That's what the GDS is for.

Funny though, 500MHz and Geforce 2 needed for a break-out!

Posted - 9/11/2004 12:51:15 PM | mouse input was more than good for me, i suspect atleast one neglected "readmeh". The game lacked variety, tho it did remind me of my old pong games where dx would be constant and only dy would fluctuate, making the ball anoyingly slow when going straight and impossibly hard when at a sharp angle.

Also, does anyone know what the first reviewer has against GetAsyncKeyState? I personally think that is the optimal way for retrieving keyboard input.
