pebble-pingchrong

NOTE: Requires Pebble Firmware v2.0 or greater.

The Pebble Firmware v2.0 is still in BETA and has not been officialy released. Use AT YOUR OWN RISK. Please see this post for more information.

Description

Displays a game of ping-pong between two AI opponents. The score is shown at the top of the screen. Although they play 24/7, the AI players are quite good. So good in fact, that the player on the right only misses 24 times a day. The player on the left is not quite as good and misses 60 times an hour. As a result, the current score of their game is also the current time of day! Coincidence?

Configuration

The app is configurable via the Pebble smartphone app. Options include:

• 12-hour time mode - Displays time using 12H format rather than 24H format.
• Inverted colors - black text on white screen rather than white text on black screen
