I started working on this applet as an exercise in learning JAVA and exploring its standard packages... and to have some fun while doing it! :-)

It's a pong-like game. Try to keep the ball flying around the playing field, scoring points by causing it to hit the colored targets. The left-side paddle is slaved to the movement of the right. The right-side paddle simply follows the movement of the mouse while it is in the paddle region. You may control the paddle size, ball speed, and target pattern by selecting the appropriate options before starting up a game. Note that the targets give higher rewards for more difficult paddle and/or ball speed settings. There are three balls per game.

When you start a game, there will be a short pause while a new game window is brought up.

Have Fun!
