I put a few existing program pieces together yesterday to make a little ball bumping game. It's an easy game, you use arrows to bump your ball into the enemy ball - the goal is to knock your enemy to the screen edges. The enemy tries to do the same to you. Hitting the screen edges costs a life. You both have three lives. To make it more interesting, a few dummy balls bounce around in your way.
Use the arrow keys to move your ball. ESC quits.
