Pong-ino 0.4 shows off a complete options menu

Hi everyone!

I've finally found some little time to update Pong-ino.

What is better than removing one line from the todo list?

=== TODO LIST ===

• Find some solution for the ball movement jerkiness (try to apply paddle movement solution)
• Improve the angle calculation at bounce (make it wider when the ball hits the end of the pads)
• Make the classic mode as close as possible to the original
• Add some spice to the Modern mode (powerups, maybe?)
• Improve Menu screen graphics and functions (HA! THERE YOU GO!)
• Add an OPTIONS submenu to main menu (BYE BYE, BABY!)

Removing two lines from the todo list! :D

I've decided to dive a bit into pixel art.

Thanks to several excellent pixel artists (Davit Masia, David Capello  and other heroes) on Twitter I've received some amazing links and suggestions.

I will keep on improving and polishing Pong-ino as soon as I have more time.

If you have 60 seconds and feel like trying it I would be very happy to receive a feedback and/or a suggestion.

Have a great day :)
