Will you quit referring to some Pong engine? Sorry to pick on you, but this is really annoying to me. Way to dilute the word. You aren't licensing some packaged game technology, you're writing your own version of an old game.
Well, then you got R* Table Tennis which DOES use an engine (same one that GTA 4's gonna be on). Hmm, since I am doing this on Blitz 3D, maybe the 3D-ness will come with something that'll revolutionize something. Bubble Bobble in 3D mode, where you're in a ball cam, and then, well, you may know such games that have it where you chase the ball around, and watch it line up with others, well, using "Ball Cam" technology may rectify a new way of looking at Bubble Bobble AND Pong. Hmm, may even think of that.
