		<description><![CDATA[<div class="mockup v2"><p>I would like to announce my project in C++ using Allegro: War Pong!</p><p>It&#39;s basically a recreation (not striving for accuracy) of the classic Pong, except now you get to shoot each other!<br />Your paddle gets bigger if you hit someone with a bullet or win a point, and smaller if you get hit by a bullet or lose a point.<br />If your paddle is significantly smaller you get a super shot which almost always hits, and usually makes your paddle larger than your opponent&#39;s.</p><p>To be exact this is not a new game: I originally made it in a language called Blitz Basic (a souped up version of BASIC) but I&#39;m porting it to C++ and Allegro.</p><p>I have a home on the web for it at <a href="http://warpong.sourceforge.net">http://warpong.sourceforge.net</a></p><p>If you want to see what it is - check it out! I have several versions of the previous version released. Here&#39;s a screenshot, it&#39;s not action packed, but it shows you the similarity to Pong.<br />http://warpong.sourceforge.net/warpong1.gif</p><p>Here&#39;s where I come to the help part: one of the reasons that I&#39;m porting it is cross-platform compatibility (I have several friends with Macs, we use them at school, etc.). Since I don&#39;t have a Mac and I&#39;m not the greatest with Linux, I&#39;ll need someone (or some people) to compile it on other platforms so I can release it (when I&#39;m finished, of course).</p><p>Also: if anyone wants to contribute a skin, I&#39;d be happy to accept it. The C++ version is built to use skins from the old version, so most of the <a href="http://warpong.sourceforge.net/skinning.html">skinning guide</a> from the old versions still applies (the main difference is that the transparent colour in this version is bright pink - 255,0,255).</p><p>If anyone is interested then just post in this thread.
