E-M handhelds/toys Marx T.V. Tennis

[slydc]

Hi folks,

Some years ago, i had x2 E-M handhelds (or toys) which i gave to a friend
for his mini-museum in his video game store. These were the Horizon Screen Tennis and the Marx T.V. Tennis.

Well, i've been learning to code in LUA these past months either for the
PSP LUA Player or the LUA LOVE engine and been coding a game in LOVE this past week-end in my spare time.

Here's a screenshot of the Marx T.V. Tennis simulator:



And here's the RAR file which contain the LOVE executable, drivers, the .BAT and the game package if anyone wants to try it:

First, unRAR it (anywhere on your hard drive) and just double-click on the "marx.bat" to boot the game. The paddle on the left side is the CPU and the paddle on the right side is you. Use UP & DOWN on your keyboard and try to beat (which for now is impossible) the CPU.

This simulator is still a beta version and i need to do a beatable CPU (meaning AI a bit stupid), also either player reaches 11 points, the game displays "Winner" and goes back to the menu, etc...

But since i don't have the Marx T.V. Tennis anymore, i tried to program the game by memory.

I'm open to any comment(s), suggestion(s), etc...about the simulator to
make it as real as can be. I anyone here has one, i would greatly appreciate a video with good quality sound.

Enjoy and have fun!

P.S...almost forgot, the love.exe if for Windows users. If you want to try it
on a Mac or Linux, go to the LOVE web site (http://love2d.org) and download the executable needed.
