Here is a version of Pong made with blocks. I changed the mechanics of the original game a bit, but I hope it still has the essence.

That’s great work! I’ve tweaked it to have separate scores for player 1 and 2 (rather than the lives), and I’ve added the option of a human player 2. No need to specify the number of players when you start playing - it just assumes a one player game, then converts to a two player game when it senses the second player moving up or down. Haven’t yet introduced a win condition (15 points I think on the original?)

Controls:  
Player 1 - W (Up), S (Down)  
Player 2 (optional) - I (Up), K (Down)

Very cool! I love the auto recognition of player 2.
