Just the same ol' pong with a few modifications.Project description:Pong with a few extras like music, wave backround, ball speed change, etc.You can play be your slef or with someone on the same psp. I made three modes, Normal - Which is just like normal old pong, Fast - With every hit on the wall or the paddle the ball speeds up, and WallBall - The AI is replaced by a wall, the point is to survive for as long as you can.Thank you for reading this hope you have fun, please post any comments here about the game.Update:~Fixed splash screen.~Fixed Single and Multi-Player ball speed selector, Now uses OSK.

Over on the QJ forums, Hardrive has released his own version of Pong, which now allows for both vertical and horizontal movement. Besides the game, however, he's also releasing the source for his creation so that it can help people who are learning how to code SDL.

Here is Hardrive's announcement :

This game started as a mini project that I worked on to teach myself the ropes on programming for the PSP as well as programming games using SDL. As a side effect of using SDL, this game also runs on Linux, Windows, or any other platform that is capable or running SDL.... The main reason I am releasing this is the source.... If this code can help even one person out there use SDL, then I'm happy. However, that said, I'm not saying I'm using SDL correctly or in the most clever and efficient way possible.

The addition of horizontal movement happens to bring some added tension to the game. That being said, we're also happy that the release comes with the code, since that may be of use to some of the SDL coders out in QJ land. Enjoy the app and the source code, and make sure you check the readme for clarifications.

Don't look at me like that! I know, we're all sick and tired of the multiple Pong ports for the PSP. But I just had to post about this one. Why? Well the best thing about Pong is the nostalgia factor, and this version has it in spades. Pong+ is about as close to the original thing as you're going to get on the PSP. The design is great, the style is classic, and the author has a good sense of humor about it all. Thanks for the memories, fish!

Exciting Features:

• 2 Players on one PSP
• Twiddly bits: Points / Balls Spin / Ball Acceleration / Player Speed
• Futuristic AI (for "futuristic", read "basic":))
• Attract mode
• 1-Bit Colour
• ROCK STEADY Framerate @ 600 FPS. ish.
• Silent operation (ie. I've not done the SFX yet)
• Argument causing menu system for social gaming.
• (I think I'm running out of exciting features to tell you about...)
• Screenshot capability!
• Erm, I think that's it.

This is relatively untested on 2.0+ Firmware, so check it out and report back in the comments!
