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.\r\nNote- 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.\r\n\r\n---------------------------\r\n\r\nThis 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.<\/p>","title":"Circular Pong"}
