GP32Spain having a new game on their page. I can’t describe the game well right now, but when you see the screenshot you know what it is about.http://www.gp32spain.com/

Another game which has been sent to GBAdev is Paradise Road by Phil Stroffolino.http://www.gbadev.org/

Johnny North send this latest game to the guys it GBAdev.org. It’s, as the names allready tells us, a multiplayer pong game.

I originally created this multiplayer pong game as a test where I could isolate multiplayer code in the simplest possible game. I intended to release the source code to get feed back from the community on how to work out the problems. Seems as though there’s not much interest in the subject though and I was able to work out most of my problems along the way so far. So there you have it, the most basic possible 2 player pong game.This is just a rough demo at the moment, but I thought I’d release it in case anyone has interest in the subject or game. Some time in December I’ll make a final release including better menus, sound and source.
