Plasma Pongawc 2013-10-26 Sadly, this is no longer available
![]() Developed by a student in the Game Analysis and Design Interest Group at George Mason University, this is an interesting twist on one of the first video games ever produced: Pong. PLASMA PONG is a variation of PONG that utilizes real-time fluid dynamics to drive the game environment. Players have several new abilities that add fun twists to the classic game. In the game you can inject plasma fluid into the environment, create a vacuum from your paddle, and blast shockwaves into the playing area. All these abilities have fluid-based kinetic effects on the ball, making Plasma Pong a fast-paced and exciting game. A networked version of this game would be cool. With the current two player mode, the players must share the keyboard, which can be somewhat crowded and / or awkward. Also, for me the keyboard controls are not near as responsive as the mouse.
Along the same lines, the Plasma Pong website credits Road Blocks with “a loss of productivity in my life.” I can relate! This web-based puzzle game quickly becomes addictive (but it ended too soon and now I’m experiencing withdrawal). awc 2007-07-17 12:52:19Feel free to suggest links, or to report broken or moved links, using the Contact Me page. < Webcams | My Bookmarks | Language > |
