Installation
Um.. just Unzip
it to a directory, run it and off you go!
Instructions
Find a friend on
the net. One of you goes to NETPong!->Listen and waits. The other
goes to NETPong!->Connect and enters the IP ADDRESS of the other persons
machine then clicks ok. Then sit back n get retro. Control the paddle
with your mouse. The object is to hit the ball back...
If you don't know your IP address to give to the person who wants
to connect to you, you can find it by going to a DOS prompt and typing:
winipcfg
(or in NT its ipconfig)
Press
enter and a little window should pop up telling you what your IP is.
Please note: If there's alot of net lag between you and your oponent
it will be slow and probably unplayable. Its probably best played
on a LAN. (Altho I've had some fun games with ppl on the other side
of the planet)
To
set the speed select Options from the NETPong! menu and adjust the
speed til its just right. Please note that the server controls the
speed for both ends.
Release Notes
I started to write
this a loooooong time ago to see if I could get a program sending
and receiving info over the net. I had some fun testing it so I rewrote
it to make it alittle more stable and added some quick scoring and
this is the result.
Thats it basically.
It's not very exciting but there was something wierdly addictive about
it so I thought I'd release it. I very much doubt much more work will
ever be done on it. It's basically just a test but it should lead
to other net stuff in the future.
Let me know if
you like/hate it!
Enjoy!
