Show HN: 1D-Pong Game at 39C3

https://github.com/ogermer/1d-pong
13•oger•2d ago
Building a 1D-Pong game is a bit of a rite of passage at the Chaos Communication Congress.

I was inspired by a version I saw at 38C3 and built my own interpretation for 39C3. Lots of people enjoyed playing it and even Elliot Williams featured it in his 39C3 Hackaday Podcast. And I can attest: it's truly fun because it's sooo simple at first sight - but wait until the speed increases... Not a bad work to fun created ratio for such a little project.

I used the opportunity to play around with Claude Code on my preexisting codebase to publish a nice-ish repo on GitHub. It worked great without any hitch or compile errors - impressive. What a nice way to test some capabilities.

Have fun with it an build your own version. And there are soooo many ideas that could be implemented. I am waiting for your feedback!

Will we end up with a league of networked 1D-Pong games? ;-)

Very cool. I spent many hours as a kid playing Zap by calico on road trips. Surprisingly fun for how simple it is. https://youtu.be/UxPFH5yHZR0?si=5vVK85a3ut5dQeGT
