Neat!

I'm running the Pong clock screensaver on my PC at work, and now I'll have this one running on the Mac next to it :)

Thanks for sharing.

That link doesn't seem to be going to the Pong screensaver.

It sure does for me.

However, it's not a very good version. The original is a lot better. The Mac seems to be the same movement all the time whereas the original really seems to play like humans. This is not right, software that's better on a PC ;)

Thanks for that one anyway !

Waaahhh, forget that first Mac Pong Clock. Ther original guys behind the Pong Clock (fellow Dutchmen Buro Vormkrijgers) have a Windows AND MAC version on their site:

Download it here:

http://www.burovormkrijgers.nl/zip/pong_clock.zip

Check out their cool stuff, and Paypal a buck or so...

http://www.burovormkrijgers.nl     (go to Portfolio, Show all, scroll down until you see the clock, click it and then select the tab Screensaver, Paypal button there.

It's much better than the "fake" one IMHO....

Cheers guys.

Ah yeah, that's the one I pasted... same as the PC one. The site just doesn't let you directly link to the page :hissy:

Thanks for posting the directions.
