Reply to this commentYeah 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 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 commentIE9 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 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 commentساحه حره

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.
Reply to this commenthaha very cool

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.
