Sidewalk Pong is AMAZE. I can help with the websocket backend if someone builds the mobile web front-end.
Design sketch:
- The screen shows a URL (pong.vanhack.ca?) on the screen at all times, even when there’s a game on
- Anyone who goes to the URL on their device can join a game already in progress if there’s room, or wait for the current game to end.
- To join a game, people should have to enter a random code displayed on the screen (so remote jerks can’t DOS the game)
- The “controller” is a mobile web app, ideally one that allows people to drag their finger to control the paddle, rather than having to use buttons
- Up to four players can play at once (left/right first, then top/bottom)
- The game should have random obstacles/targets that pop up on the screen, and players can score extra points by hitting them
- There should be power-ups like in Arkanoid (wide paddle, MULTIBALL!!!1~1, etc.)
