                             A simple PONG game


About The Game
--------------

   MiPong is a very simple PONG game. The player has to hit the ball with the
bat. If he misses the game ends. The game also keeps score.

   It is the first graphics game I've written. It took 2 *full* days to write.
It was written in C using the Allegro game programming library and compiled
with the DJGPP C/C++ compiler.

   I could write this game only after reading a couple of game tutorials. Both
of them are by George Foot. They are "Allegro Vivace - A simple game tutorial"
& "How To Program Games".


Bugs
----

   As any software this game might have bugs. It has run flawlessly on my PC.
But, since I've not tested it on any other PC I don't have the slightest idea
what might happen when you run it. But, if there is any problem, the game
will exit without crashing Windows. Please inform me if there are any
problems.


Source
------

   If you want to have a look at the source code of this game, I'm sorry I lost
all my source code in a hard disk crash.


What next?
----------

   The game is presently in version 1.0 beta. 'beta' because I haven't tested
it on any other PC than mine.

   The next version will be written in C++ using classes. This should
certainly be easier to debug than the present one, which had me tearing my
hair at times ;-)
