Deranged Pong

• 

  example gameplay

We have taken the legacy of one of the very first video games, Pong, and utilised TalkJS to form a bridge between the world of the 1980s with the world of modern day social media by introducing a chat box for each side. To make the game deranged, we decided that the paddles should be controlled by inputting letter commands (u for up, d for down) in the chatboxes. Any number of users can join the same game, leading to an absolutely shambolic abomination. We used a basic HTML/CSS/JS front-end with a NodeJS backend, integrating TalkJS and using its API. We experienced challenges regarding the server being overloaded when many users are connected at once which we are still trying to resolve. In the future we plan on creating our own cursed take on more retro games and add them to the project.
