Thanks. And thanks for the feedback!
(For the record, this is actually easier than Pong -- I was using the FPGA and Atari 50 remakes for reference. It's a beastly quarter-muncher.)
There is a phosphor trail on the ball for readability, but I kept it short for crispness/accuracy. I really should throw the option on the menu. Along with a ball glow.
In-game control switching would be nice (especially when I was testing and hit the wrong one), but I'm trying to lean on minimalism and A game/B game feels like classic Atari to me.
Big Old Scores come with the territory, but yeah, I realized they should be dithered immediately before realizing I really didn't want to redraw the fonts and probably nobody would care. Guess I bet wrong there.
