Circular Pong by iambored2006
UPDATE: I finally fixed the bug that prevented me from starting the ball off going in random angles. Every time you open the "game", the ball will spawn in a different line up, thus creating another pattern. You can also reset everything by pressing space.
Note- due to the random spawning of the ball, sometimes the paddle misses it. I could fix this by increasing the paddle's speed, but it's already high as it is, and I think it would lose some of the effect if the rotation felt too immediate. If the ball goes off screen, just reset it.
---------------------------
This isn't a game. There are no controls, just cool AI and effects. I've been coding a platformer engine as a warmup for over a week now, but at its current state, this is a lot more interesting.

I always think of a weird, futuristic form of knitting when I stare at it for a while, probably because of the movement of the paddle. Sometimes it creates amazing patterns!
