Pong
In Node, with your terminal. Thanks go to TooTallNate's ansi module for terminal trickery.
Installation
npm install -g pong
Usage
Pretty straight-forward, once it's installed just type pong
into your terminal to get started. There's a couple of options too:
Usage: pong [-b|-h|-s|-W <width>|-H <height>|-S <port>|-c <host>]Options:-W, --width Set the width of the playing field [default: 80]-H, --height Set the height of the playing field [default: 24]-b, --beep Enable beeping [boolean] [default: false]-h, --help Help! [boolean]-s, --safer Safer output for running over SSH/Mosh/etc. [boolean] [default: false]-S, --server Host a Pong server instead of playing Pong.-c, --connect Connect to another Pong server
Multiplayer
It wouldn't be a Node clone without some async-realtime-multiplayer features, so that's built-in too. To start a new game with a random stranger, just type:
pong --connect
And wait. Someone else might join eventually, and you'll get matched up automatically.
You can host your own pong server like so:
pong --server 80
Where 80
is the port your want to run it on. Then connecting it you just need to supply the new server's address and port after the connect
flag:
pong --connect http://192.0.0.12:80
