Introduction

 
  Challenge your friends to a game of physics pong! This is a remake of the classic Pong game using physics and rotatable paddles.

This game was written as a proof-of-concept for the Mercury Game Framework 2. It demonstrates features such as;
  • Scene management, meshes, material, textures, nodes as you would expect from a 3D game framework.
  • Pre-pass lighting (direction and spot lights) with normal maps.
  • Orthographic. and perspective rendering (and rendering to texture).
  • 3D and 2D audio.
  • Thread-safe user modules (parallel logic for each paddle and the ball).
  • Integrating NVidia PhysX with my framework for physics.
  • Integrating Cairo with my framework for HUD rendering.
  • Input.
