Why is it named 48 Hour Pong? Because I needed a weekend off from my current projects and fancied making a full game in a 48 hour period.

Features include:

* Full 3D
* Ability to change view
* WiFi transmission of player scores to a database to see how good you are compared to other players.
* Player stats are saved
* Ability to modify the graphics and audio
* When on the menu screen a demo of 2 AI opponents plays


Modifiers:

If you wish to modify the graphics or audio then please do so. Just keep the graphics the same size and name as the originals. The ball actually rotates (as in rolls), it's hard to tell with the original texture for it, but make sure your modified graphics utilise this.
Also, link to this site to download the original game and supply a separate link for your modified files. Do not repackage the game!

Updates:

This was a purely 48 hour thing, I will only update the game if a bug is found or I need another 'weekend off'.

The player file is encrypted very basically to stop simple methods of altering it, if the database is abused by cheaters I will remove it. Play fair.

Controls:

* Use the D-pad or the analog stick to move when in the game.
* Right Trigger will change your view between 3rd person, 1st person or top down.
* Left Trigger will change the camera mode from 'fixed' to 'follow'. This only applies to 3rd person view.
* Cross is for selection on menus, all other notable operations will prompt you for which button to press.
* Select will take a screenshot (self-incrementing)


Credits:

The background effect is based on a PSP SDK sample.
Audio is from flashkit.com and is royalty free.
