Simpler homepage game #12

Right now the game on the home page is rather complicated. We need a simple game that yet shows the power of the editor.

How about single-player Pong, like practicing tennis against a wall? Remove the bricks from Breakout, and add a score counter for how many times the ball has bounced on the opposite wall. Also make the ball move faster whenever you hit it, so the game becomes challenging over time.

That would be simpler, and still allow showing off the user input storing and the live variable changing with visual feedback (e.g. of the paddle width). However, it might also be less fun than Breakout.

Thanks for the suggestion! :) I was actually thinking it might be better to simply have the first robot dare on the front page, to get started right away. And then perhaps some other examples, like different games, between which you can switch.

Yes, that sounds better in the long-term.

I think the closer you can get to frictionlessly starting, the better. Can you jump the user right in to changing a drive distance from 3 to 4 to complete their first dare? Or something?
