Reply to this commentIn IE, When you point on a link, What will happen?
Reply to this commentHard to move the paddle, but it works...
Reply to this commentPretty wicked, but after 10 points, it just stops the game and whoever the winner is, the number just increases.
Reply to this commentThis is the most awesome game i've seen! i hope google notices this, cuz if u add it to video chat as a game, that would be SICK!!! think about it...your paddle would be a browser showing ur webcam, the other would be ur friend's! u can't say that wouldnt be awesome to the max! just sayin, and have a blessed day!
Reply to this commentmine got stuck in the corner and my points kept going up at like 10 per sec.

Reply to this commentopen the game,then play,close the browser,annd then see what hapens next.:o
Reply to this commentIt´s pretty cool!!!
Reply to this commentActually you can get infinite points..Keep both paddles. Fullsize your screen..wait a fwew seconds ..then your score will increase INFINITELY....then change it to normal;...it will still go up
Reply to this commentIf I didn't hit the "Q" button then my best score was 2931 coz' i maximize my browser. lol. But it's good, keep the good works!
Reply to this commentMy score is 8213
Reply to this commentlol I pressed alt+F4 and the ball dissapeared so I closed the paddles. Then when I pressed play again the paddles were smaller this time. So I made my paddle extra long.

Reply to this commentIt does no woek i dissabled the popup blocker and I cant start the game
Reply to this commentCan this experiment be downloaded? So we can play it without having internet? It's awesome! but I am not connected so much time and sometimes I wanna play it while I am on Recess or In the car
Reply to this commentYou *can*, but not easily... You have to download all of the external scripts and styles and change the links in the source
Reply to this commentMy problem with bring this local is that the score runs infinitely and no victory page pops up. Basically the end of the game does not function. Any thoughts?

Yeah you can win epically on this by resizing your window and closing the other one. But it does take the fun out of it.

Reply to this commentmerveilleux
Reply to this commentThis works great in Safari. Everything moves fluently and quickly. Best thing I've seen on this site yet.
Reply to this commentYou can also close your opponents window. This is very creative and cool.
Reply to this commentNever launch this in a tiling Window Manager :D
Reply to this commentYou can drag your "paddle" window to be a larger super sized paddle that nothing can pass through! put a cap on window size
Reply to this commentI fondly remember the times when suddenly the computer screen filled with 30+ popups.
Those were the days....
Reply to this commentI can see exploits and security flaws coming to html5 if i allows browsers to spawn and move like this. What other controls do developers have over my system?
Reply to this commentIt downloads .ogg files without me knowing it. Creepy
Reply to this commentWOW! This game never gonna give me up XD You know what I mean
Reply to this commentIt's never gonna let you down either. :)
Reply to this commentIt's never gonna make you cry.
It's also never gonna turn around and desert you! LOL
IE9 Is the shittiest browser on the planet. It still doesn't support CSS3
Reply to this commentVery nice game! Really special, but unfortunately I always lose..... Game works in Firefox and Chrome; I'm not sure if Safari works... In IE9 it schould work, schouldn't it? But to me, it doesn't.
Reply to this commentNope. Nothing here works in IE except for the comment system.
Reply to this commentI was always losing too.. But i can make my window bigger... the computer is limited to script...MWAHAHAH
Reply to this commentOwwowchowW

Reply to this commentye, its cool
Reply to this commentWorks fin in chrome
Reply to this commentHaha, I close the computer player's window! Yep, they're all real windows.
Reply to this commentI don't think the paddles come up as the right size on Google Chrome.
Reply to this commentمع الشكر والتقدير
Reply to this commentساحه حره
Reply to this commentSo cute! very innovative
Reply to this commentMine glitched/crashed so the computer won 695-4.
Reply to this commentthats what mine did! It glitched and ive got like 3000 points! That isn't suposed to do that is it? Oh and also, did you close the main window? the background window? cause i did and i think thats why.
haha very cool
such a creative idea and very entertaining
Reply to this commentNice! A fun twist on a classic concept.
Reply to this commentGood
Reply to this commentGoo

Reply to this commentWorks fine on Opera 9.63/FreeBSD
Reply to this commentole, ole, y ole. Muy lindo.
Reply to this comment*Stretches window to take up half of screen* Bwahahahahaha!
Reply to this commentShiny game! Weirdest behavior on latest Opera though. If you win once, you win an unlimited number of times!
Reply to this commentFirefox works.
Reply to this commentAMAZING!!!
Reply to this commentfantastic!
Reply to this commentJust pause and rezize your paddle BIG and you are done.And of course continue.
Reply to this commentWhatever it is... It is best thing I have seen in all over internet till today.
Reply to this commentThis crashes after I get 5. only on beta dev chanel for Windows XP
Reply to this commentAmazing! I wonder if it works in Safari, because I'm arguing with my friend over which browser is best and I use this as an argument in favor of Chrome.
By the way, those of you who say that it still says it tells you to disable the popup blocker, that is always there. Try pressing the play button (or the P key on your keyboard.)
Reply to this commentWorks for me in firefox!
Reply to this commentHahaha, right click your paddle, click show as tab, now u can resize and make it whatever size you want, win no matter what, make it a wall haha
Reply to this commentDoesn't work in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. Says "disable pop-up blocker" even when Opera's blocker is disabled. Didn't try the other ones.
Reply to this commentIt always says disable pop-up blocker, even on Google Chrome. Just press play (P), it still works.
Reply to this commentWWWWOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soooooooo cool!!!!
Reply to this commentawesome!
Reply to this commenthahahah, this is superb!
Reply to this commentI got RICK-ROLLED! hahaha! Coolness.
Reply to this commentDoes not work in Chrome or Firefox. I can start it but I can't move my window with the A or Z keys.
Reply to this commentworks fine in chrome
Reply to this commentworks on my chrome
Reply to this commentuse the arrow keys to control the player on the right. You have to check the player on the left as "human" in order to control it.
Reply to this commentThanks for that, that was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!
Reply to this commentI got 283,642 points! Beat that!
Reply to this commenthi i cheated by closing the windo
Reply to this commentTOO COOL!!
Reply to this commentCorrection: I'm in the late 8 thousands and counting.
Reply to this commentFor some reason it got messed up, but my score skyrocketed, getting about 15 points a second, so no complaints. I'm in the late 6 thousands. LOL ROTFL ROTFLMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Reply to this commentI made my window fill the whole screen. that was fun. I then tried closing the other paddle, but the ball just bounced against an invisible paddle! LOL ROTFL ROTFLMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Reply to this commentDoesn't work across multiple screens. 'Ball' keeps bouncing on the left with the left 'paddle' and right 'paddle' is on the right screen alone.
Reply to this commentI got over 9000.
Reply to this commentVery well written javascript! Thanks for that!
Reply to this commentcool you can resize the windows though
Reply to this commentthis is really cool!
But I accidently closed out the main window and the other pop ups continued! They should close if the main window is
Reply to this commentBrilliant! 8^)
Reply to this commentAwesome!
Reply to this commentHoly Crap!
Reply to this commentOh. Well. I feel stupid, but my way is still more fun. =D
Reply to this comment@Eric. This is what the 'Q' (Quit) command is for. No need to chase down windows. But if you insist on closing each one yourself you might find that hitting Spacebar to pause the game makes that a bit easier.
@Player. The main window *is* the launch window. All the other windows *are* child windows. (How else would it work?) So I'm not sure what you're on about. Try viewing the source, perhaps that will illuminate some things.
Reply to this commentPerformance wise, seems way better than the other pong game up right now. Windows seem more responsive.
Only real problem I can see is that when you start closing windows, you gotta close them all. The ball can be kind of tough to catch! =P
Reply to this commentlol cool, but you can cheat! you can change the size of `your´ window xD
Reply to this commentOr change there box smaller or move them to another location..
Reply to this commentI like it, but you should make the launch window the main window, and all others child windows.
