VertiPONG *updated to v0.4*
EndTwist:
Alright, you're thinking WTF is this?
Well guess what? I got bored and made a PONG game for vertical monitors or cocktail machines. Includes classic sounds and classic style.

In the zip:
Joystix.ttf - install this in to your fonts folder (c:\windows\fonts usually)
VertiPONG.exe - the game
pong.ini - config file (edit options here!)
RotateLabelVer_NoFoc.ocx - required file
PONG.wav - first pong sound
PONG2.wav - second pong sound
Also - you do need MSVBVM60.dll, which you can get here:

I'm looking for more ideas to convert simple horizontal games to vertical games, so if you have suggestions, tell me!
SirPoonga:
A couple of sound bugs, but very cool. Also just need to be able to flip the screen the other way and to be able to swap mouse axis.
I like.
Another issue, on my screen the bottom of the font gets cut off, I only see the top 90% of the numbers. And there needs to be a who one on the screen.
explain this?
; vertical or cocktail
MonitorType=vertical
SirPoonga:
have you ever played the old pong systems that had many veriations? you could do that too.
you could make one where the paddles are on the horizontal side too :) or 4 player. I wish I could find a quad pong somewhere.

There is a defunct emulator/simulator that has pretty much every version of pong ever released by atari in it. I'll see if I can find a link. Anyone want to resurrect it back from the dead?

That has a number of sims, the first one being the best sim. I'll probably use that as a work-off point for VertiPONG.
SP - do you have a screen shot of where the font gets cut off? Did you install the font that came with the program?
the
; vertical or cocktail
MonitorType=vertical
thing in the INI is to set it for a vertical monitor or a vertical cocktail. If you set it to cocktail, it displays the scores/coins on each side of the game (in the white bars).
What sound bugs?
Also - I can do the flip no problem, I just make it something you can set in MonitorType (like, rvertical (reverse vertical))
edit:
Ack, I'm stupid! I forgot to upload the second pong sound with the zip. Just redownload it and you're good to go.
