Hey thanks! I thought this quick ‘n dirty game is nothing but useless.

I’m quite new to game development. Most of the time I spent on this game is debugging. Still there are quite some bugs to fix:

1. The balls flies through the invisible Chipmunk Segments at the window border at high velocity.
2. Balls easily flies at high velocity – Paddle and ball’s elasticity need some tinkering.

I needed to make a few tweaks so it would use my local rabbyt installation before I could get it to run (and rename pymunk/libchipmunk32.so to pymunk/libchipmunk.so).

The physics feels nice and smooth … although it’s very easy to send the balls flying off at high velocity (but hey, I can’t juggle in real life either ).
It strikes me as a toy that would be quite fun using Wiimote + Wii Balance board control.
