It was entered into the RetroEmu.com Summer Coding Competition in 2008.

User guide
Note: Wear headphones for the best experience.
pong.MODERN has five game modes all with their own unique features.
- pong? is the modern version of the standard Pong game with a vampiric twist.
- Luv Takes 2 will offer you some multiplayer action and gives you the ability to taunt your opponent on the fly.
- Frantic will challenge your survival skills by upping the speed the longer you survive.
- Manic will scratch that itch for some extreme Pong gaming.
- pong.DINOSAUR will give you a taste of the olden' days with a visually and mechanically similar version of classic Pong.
This game was made to be fully customizable, in terms of graphics, sound and music, from the start. The traditional file organization of a game is done by seperating music, sounds, and graphics into their own folders. pong.MODERN's aim was to make it easy for the average person to easily modify the game, so it uses a different approach to file organization.
Each section of the game has been seperated into its own folders where all the elements of that section can be found. For example, if you want to modify the intro and the menu the elements for that section can be found in the Intro folder. List of files and locations can be found in readme.txt.
