Lol, I scripted Pong.
 

 
DOWNLOAD - this quest uses zc v2.5 and please read the instructions below to know the controls.
 
Blue player uses Ex3 key for up and Ex2 key for down. (A, S, W, D = Ex1, Ex2, Ex3, Ex4)
Yellow player uses Up key for up and Down key for down.
 
I may add items and such in the future, because the classic Pong can get repetitive.
Also, you can control the angle of the ball a little, by moving while hitting the ball.
 
UPDATE:
You can now play against computer and choose the difficulty too. When playing against computer you are the yellow player.
 
UPDATE 2:
You can now choose to play with items. When playing with items, the ball changes it's color depending on wich player reflected it the last time. The color of the ball then decides who gets the item when the ball touches it.
 
 This item gives you 5 extra points.
 
 This item paralyzes your enemy temporarily.
 
 This item makes your enemy invisible temporarily.
 
 This item gives you the ability to shoot ball-reflecting beams for a while.
 
 This item makes you faster for a while.
 
 This item gives you a one-time shield.
 
 

 1 Fail = 10 points for the other player.
100 points = win.
 
Enjoy.

So, whatever happened to "I'm done working on scripting miniquests so I can focus on my main projects"?

 

But seriously, this looks pretty cool. I remember somebody scripting Pong YEARS ago (2008, I think), but that version was one person playing against the computer, rather than 1v1. Nice work.

HUZZAH, Avataro just made the first Multiplayer Quest.

Well it took only about 2 hours to make, so no big deal. Can work on my main project another day.

It is new to me that someone made Pong in ZC already, though. I'm surprised, but mine is probably better

[David]

Really?

Looks cool, you need to teach how to script things like that!

[grayswandir]

I think the old pong was "Look! Scripting just came out! See what you can do with it!" if I remember correctly.

[David]

Well, it must easier then I might imagine. I'm really bad at scripting right now; I must learn more . By the way, gryswandir, do you program outside of ZScript?

Back in the day, you could do this, yeah. But you'd have to use tile warps and side warps.

Billions of them.

Once again, Avataro, you have outdone yourself.

[LTTP]

wish I had ur scripting ability's

[Chris Miller]

Next, program it to sing Daisy Bell.
(how many will get that)

Nice job!

[Avaro]

Update, everyone!!

Aside from a few other little things I've improved, I added computer play mode. Look this:

 

 

 

Yes, even with difficulty setting . Be aware that the computer might be very dumb and he is even very beatable in "boss" difficulty, but anyways, redownload and enjoy!

[Avaro]

Final update is here!
Now I'm finally happy with this quest and can move on to my more important quests. I added items/powerups:
 
This item gives you 5 extra points.

This item paralyzes your enemy temporarily.

This item makes your enemy invisible temporarily.

This item gives you the ability to shoot ball-reflecting beams for a while.

This item makes you faster for a while.

This item gives you a one-time shield.

 

Yeah, this site is really useful for making video game sound effects.

 

The player who has hit the ball the last time, wich is indicated by the balls color, gets the item that the ball touches. It would be best to just download and try. Don't forget that the computer might still be really stupid and not as hard as I wanted in its boss dificulty, so you should either play with someone else or at least on boss difficulty

 

Edit: Just uploaded this to the database too! We'll see if it gets accepted
