Pong written in both flash and HTML5. Left side is flash, right side is HTML5.

Gah. People please stop using Z as the default key for down (or whatever). If you can't detect my keyboard layout use keys that are the same on every keyboard, no matter the language, or provide an option to configure the keys. My Z (on a Slovenian keyboard) is where your Y is (on your English keyboard). This makes the game unplayable for me, since my "down" key is above my "up" key, which makes it almost impossible…

There are no keys that will work for everyone. I use Colemak -- the A and Z keys are in the same spot as Qwerty, but K is where N is on Qwerty, so that's a difference. Throw in Dvorak, and you only have A and M in the same place on those three. A "right" answer is to make the keys remappable.

Interesting problem of tuning both sides speed. Here (small Atom netbook hooked to big screen) the ball moves noticeably faster on the Flash side. To the point of making me lose a Pong match with myself.

Core i7 920 on Chrome 9 (canary). Both sides are equally fast, but there's a visible stutter when the ball's moving quickly.

Oh man, Chrome shipped 8 versions already? They've achieved version-number-parity with IE! :)
