Title Pong z80
Description ***Bearing any unforseen bugs this is the final version*** Play a classic game of pong against the ai now with three difficulty levels and three different speed levels. Or better yet grab a friend - choose from two people on one calc or on two calcs using a link and my link.8xp program (read readme for more info). Coming in at less than 2kb this is certainly a must have.

I believe that the AI in "Pong Z80" is not as smart as it could be. Once the ball speeds up it is easy to get it past the computer-controlled paddle. While I would expect to be able to hit the ball with the corner of the paddle, I often miss the ball at slow speeds like that.

Although this is a PC game adaptation, as far as TI calculators go, the game is fairly original.

The graphics are perfect for a "Pong" game, but perhaps there could be an option to reverse the colours of the paddle and the background. Considering the very small size of the game and the lack of complexity of the graphics or the gameplay, I must say that this program does not use the resources of my TI-84 Plus calculator to the fullest. Nevertheless, I think that calculator game programmers should be aiming to create a game of this style, which is not overly complex in graphics or gameplay.

Overall Score: 9/10
