Thanks so much for the play-through! I enjoyed the vid! (although the outro was horrifying lol)
I suggest that you add a clock mode. A mode where the cpu plays against itself in such a way that the score always displays the current time. This would make it a fun alternative clock to display when Panic releases the dock/speaker. The font size of the score should be much larger (at least for clock mode).
That’s a pretty cool idea I’ll look into implementing it!
That would be great! Just imagine the TV-looking Playdate dock playing constant pong against itself to tell you the time. I would pay money for that.
Hope this will sound music to your ears (except if you get the idea from this same project :)

2 other people helped the guy make a Pong clock screensaver for pc/mac, you can use it meantime
I didn’t mean to take credit for the idea. Pong clocks have been around for a long time. There was even a pong clock Dashboard widget in MacOS years and years ago (remember Dashboard?) I’m rooting for you to do it because I can totally see it on Panic’s little television-looking speaker/charger dock when that comes out. That would be a really fun desk distraction. Please go for it! I would pony up money for a pong game with that function.
