The start of the Classics Series: Classic Pong

Classic Pong
A downloadable game for Windows

For the sake of learning and game dev practice, I'm embarking on a new journey: The Classics Series. I will be recreating the 9 classic games that defined 2D gaming (to the best of my abilities) in order: 

  1. Pong
  2. Breakout
  3. Asteroids
  4. Galaga
  5. Frogger
  6. Boulderdash
  7. Pac-man
  8. Gauntlet
  9. Super Mario Bros.

I don't believe I'll recreate them thoroughly, especially the larger ones. But instead, I'll recreate a level or two to get the gameplay across. The purpose of course is learning: I already learned a lot remaking Pong while staying faithful to its original gameplay mechanics, rather than making modern easy changes (especially with the ball bounce!).
