A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

cPaddles is a rewrite of one of my previous projects and my first real delve into C programming. A Pong clone isn't exactly the most innovative project, but it's (relatively) simple to make, fun to play, and takes hardly any system resources to enjoy. The game runs on 64-bit versions of Linux and 32-bit versions Windows NT (XP, 7, 8, and 10).

You can modify the texture atlases if you like and it won't cause any problems, but keep in mind that the game's background is hard-coded (Gameboy = green background, Inverted = white background, Original = black background.)

If you prefer to play the game without sound you can rename the sound folder (e.g. Prepend it with "-").

Controls

  • WASD, Backspace, and Enter to navigate menus.
  • W and S for paddle one.
  • P and L for paddle two.
