It's only a pong game, but I wanted to know how the whole process works and I already had Just Pong completed for Windows/Mac so it wasn't very hard to convert to the iPad.
This game got accepted which only orientates in landscape mode, so you do not need both, landscape and portrait modes on the same app.
The game I'm working on now is a is a Baseball game.
If you would like to try my game, PM me for a Promo code.
Check it out:

Congrats KidNovak for the release ! :good:
Sadly I don't have a Ipad :'(
Bye!
Even thought I have an iPad but not a U.S. iTunes account (which I think only uses promo codes). :noggin:
Just Pong looks authentically cool although there are many versions. A baseball game sounds cool. :good:
Nice one! Gratz!
I'm surprised Apple have allowed the game, actually - "Pong" is copyright Atari, who have defended it quite rigourously. You might get a removal notice at some point, however, I hope that doesn't happen.
Anyway, good luck with it :)
I hope so too, it looks great, congrats! :good:
Cheers,
Ian
Congratulations! :booze:
Thanks everyone.
Its selling a lot better than I expected for an old pong game. Still waiting for rating/reviews.
Nice Remake but you may want to be careful, Atari has been going after folks with Pong in the name. http://toucharcade.com/2008/09/18/ataris-legal-team-attacking-iphone-breakout-clones/
I just want to give you a heads up. I'm surprised that name got past the review board. You may want to look at other names like Video Tennis or Just Tennis.
Keep up the good work though.

I've already mentioned that...

Without being too negative, well done millerszone (KidNovak), regardless of the legal content. :good:

It's not being negative warning someone about a potential problem, however, absolutely well done - selling so many copies in such a short space of time with a game of this sort is brilliant and an inspiration to all of us.
Ian Price, you should have mentioned that before not during celebration.

What's your problem Matchy? At that point (the link you mentioned) it was not mentioned that the game would be a commercial product - therefore there was no need to advise that the title might have potential problems.
The original poster doesn't appear to have a problem with my posts, why do you?
Besides, I did wish the product well in my first post in this topic and continue to do so. As stated, it's encouraging.
Exactly. My first post was general and you took personal offense to a harmless joke. I have no problem that I started and nothing personal with you mate so I apologies for it seeming that way.
Where exactly was the joke in any of your responses? The nagative bit wasn't particularly funny or constructive.
I admit, I did take exception to being called negative, especially when I only give positive support and assistance around here, and elsewhere, promoting games, apps and GLBasic.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for being an excellent moderator, Ian Price.
You are right! It wasn't funny and I'll make extra effort to work on my humor. I feel bad now and I'm off to have some cheesecake.
Did someone say cake? :)
I bake a cake
I stay awake
the cake is not a lie
and if the cake
ends up a fake
I'd really start to cry
