Z-Pong is a never ending (or continued) project (coded in 5 hours in 2001) with a very ugly 
source-code for free. It's under the GPL v. 2

Take it and use it, how u like it, u can modified or something else. Make a fork or what
ever. 

I put a compiled version for windows xp (should work under vista) in that repository for
playing games. I tested this version on linux and xp. 

Know'n issues:
==============

To much, i don't want to write it.

How to change the design.
==========================

Change the gfx how u like, there are made with gimp.

The files for gfx are 
	--- BACK The background image (should be max 640px x 480)
	--- BALL The image for the bal                          
    --- Intro The image in intro game
    --- Pont What could it be :-)
    --- Font the bitmap fonts. Generated with the font builder v. 1.3
    
	The image file format shoud be BMP, XMP und PCX. Use Gimp for converting
	
The plan was the changing for skin should be over a config file. But it's never
happend.

Request for more feature
=========================
 
	--- play pong over network 
	--- Easy skin loading and config file for skins
	--- Better AI
	--- Code clean up
	--- Points have to shown in the screen. Now u can see the points in stout.txt
	--- Better gameplay
	--- Rename files
	

Make a fork or what ever you want.
