             POING ULTRA
	
HOW TO PLAY

Poing Ultra is for 1 or 2 players. You
can either play against an opponent or 
play against the computer. The computer 
movement may look drunk, but the C64 is 
pretty smart. As you play along.

The object of this game is to whack the 
ball into your opponent's goal. However 
you must defend your own goal, from your 
opponent. After many rebounds, the ball 
will go faster.

You cannot only hit the ball diagonally 
but if you stop your bat from moving, it
will hit the ball vertically. Your 
opponent can do exactly the same thing.

In the middle of the screen is an alien.
If the ball hits the alien, the ball 
might rebound towards the goal of the 
player who hits the ball. The alien will
also spawn power ups.

To pick up a power up, your bat must NOT
be in shielding mode, otherwise the 
power up will go past the player instead
This is to make game play fairer, where
without the shield, it was possible for 
a skull power up to kill the player 
instantly when it suddenly appears. The 
shield is active at the start of a new 
game and after the ball has passed the 
player's goal and the bat explodes.

The winner of the game is the first 
player to score the maximum set of 
points set on the title screen.

MAY THE BEST PLAYER WIN.

ABOUT

Poing Ultra was first created and 
developed on theC64 as part of a game 
development challenge. 95% of the game
project was completed on theC64, but it 
had to be finished in 64TASS on the PC.

The source code and binaries have also 
been included, but you will need to use 
64TASS to build the complete project.

This game was created and developed for 
the PONG 50th Anniversary Challenge run 
by Retro Programmers Inside.
