OH YEAH ...... I was disappointed a few times ..... speaking of old games ..... does anyone know where I can find a copy of PONG to play on my phone or on Zorin ????? ..... I kinda miss that little bouncing ball ..... Yup ..... old school .....
Thank you kind sir ..... I downloaded the zip file and extracted it to my downloads folder ..... now where to I move the file folder to so it will open .....
I know when I download a theme or icon set I put them in the .icons or .theme folder ..... do I put this folder to something similar ????? .....
It is a stand-alone application, so you can put it anywhere you like. Double click the Pong.x86_64
file to run it.
Not what I was looking for ...... they put a totally different spin on it ..... no warm fuzzy feeling .....
Maybe the devs instructions are not clear.
Looking here:
https://github.com/MiMGell/PongGame
It looks like more installation is necessary...
Here, it says:
Linux : just unzip the zip file then run the "Pong.x86_64" file, and if there is premission error just right click the "Pong.x86_64" file and allow this file to run as executeable.
I downloaded it and tried it only to get the same result that you did.
Phew ..... for a moment I thought I almost made a mistake .....
Thanks for checking that out .... to bad it doesn't work ..... I was hoping ....
Ocka had some good leads on some different ones but I can't get them to work either ..... it's a conspiracy I tell you a conspiracy .....
The pong game that we tried was updated within the last two weeks. Why not make a note to the dev on github to let him know his instructions are not working?
I found a game called BasicPingPong .... on YouTube ......
But for me the control buttons are not positioned right and very hard to use on my mini keyboard ..... left played uses W & S while right player uses UP & DOWN arrows ....
they are just way to close for me to use my fat fingers ...... but I'll keep looking .....
Be better for 2 player I would imagine ....
What about using Stella (Atari emulator)?
Interesting idea ..... I read up on it a bit from the Stella website ..... and downloaded the Ubuntu 20.04 .deb version also saved the web site to favorites ..... so as I get some free time I'll go exploring .....
Thanks ....
