Had to submit early but here is my entry to the "Jam for All BASIC Dialects #1" on Itch.io
https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects

The game can be played here:

I've also attached the .bas file if anyone wants to look at the code (trust me, it's awful, but in a Game Jam you're not looking for pretty code, just a functional end result).
I'll play through the other entries when the Game Jam is officially over.

what is a Game Jam and what do you win?

what is a Game Jam and what do you win?

A Game Jam is where you make a game during a given time limit, usually with a specific theme. Some of the really high-profile Game Jams have prizes but the vast majority don't. Think of a Game Jam as a playground to test new game ideas and mechanics and see what people like (or don't). Definitely a good challenge and it often forces you to really consider what is "essential" in a program and what isn't.

Many kinds of game jam: rabbit, squirrel, buffalo, moose...

Spread it over sliced bread and win extra protein in your diet. ;-))

Should be over soon, your entry seems most creative, I hope you win.

PING-PONG looked interesting, some neat looking ball physics.  Interesting that it's shareware, bplus and the gang here could destroy it in an afternoon

Oh yeah, that is nice new perspective on Ping Pong!

AI in only 2 lines, would luv to see those 2 lines!

Update:

Code: [Select]

This is a newer version of this whole "intelligence":

dy2=(yp>y2)*3-(yp<y2)*3
dx2=(stan=14 and x2<250)*(25+vpx/2.5)-(stan<>14 and x2>0)*2

But I think the theme was supposed to be money so the guy just posted a cool game he made before Jam.

Should'a had a Quarter paddle play against a Nickle paddle with a Penny Ping Pong ball.

well it's a $5 shareware

Money was just one of the themes that could be used. The other two were Afraid or Together. The Ping Pong game used the Together theme which doesn't really make sense when the players are playing against each other.
I was really disappointed that Ping Pong wasn't as good overall as I was hoping because the ball physics looked really convincing!
