Tried it but it wouldnt run. Gave a message box with this error.

Error Starting Program
A required .DLL file, GLUT32.DLL was not found.

I guess I dont have it set up on my system...

I recieved the same error.
works on mine, but is EXTREMELY slow and I can''t figure out how to move anything or why its opengl..
lol thats bad feedback, no problem was kinda expecting it, the glut error is I think because your missing glut from your pc and my program uses it.

Dunno on my pc everything runs fine I get 75 frame per second, I guess my pong game runs shitty on lower end pc there is some serious tweaking to be done, since its only a freaking pong game in 2d =P

Don''t get discouraged! I like it!

Great job, and keep coding! BTW, it works fine on my computer (not to brag).


Keep coding,

Hehe, I think the game is a bit ''problematic'' when vsync is turned off... I get around 850 fps, and the ball is so fast, that the game is over after two seconds...

But if I switch on vsync, everything is OK. I get 120 FPS, the ball animation is very smooth, seems to work fine. I just didn''t have a second human player to test, and playing with two hands is somewhat cumbersome... What about a computer player ?

Good work !
shrug ya Im gonna give a shot at a little A.I. for the 2nd player paddle, who wants to play pong anyway =P

the ball is fast, i got the glut32 error at first but i placed the dlls from sgi on the dir.

if i place those files on my vc++ lib/header dirs(to update) will all opengl progs that are compile work? old and new

stupid quetion but im a real newb
It''s a safe bet everyone will have OpenGL32.dll and GLU32.dll, but many people don''t have GLUT32.dll so it''s important to mention that your game needs it.
