Where did you get the ttf? I'm looking for some fonts to use for some of my games so wondering whether you made it yourself or got it from somewhere?

BTW how long did this take you to make because it's amazing for a first game.
I'll make your software hardware.

I got it from http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts-e3.html I think.

I would estimate around 20-30 hours. A fair amount of that was spent referencing books/tutorials. It's hard to say for sure though, since I'm a full-time student with a full-time job, so I pretty much just put time into it as I could. In any case, THANKS! :D

And yours has better physics than most, or so it seems. Most pong games I've seen by people for their first game has simple physics (just reversing the x velocity when a collision with a paddle has occured with the same y velocity all the time) but I think yours manipulates the ball in various ways depending on the circumstances, or it at least gives the illusion of it.

My C++ teacher gave me 50 pts extra credit for this :D I just wanted to show it off. I'm still only halfway through tetris since my C++ final project is eating up all my time ><
