Where's the touch screen version?

#52What happened for me when the ball went from the flash side to html it got faster. The when it went from the html to the flash it got faster. Thus just getting faster and faster

#53this should use a constant FPS game loop ( http://dewitters.koonsolo.com/gameloop.html ). Currently, the flash side is much faster; supposedly due to it rendering faster in my browser.
wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

#54Interesting 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.
1.6GHz MacBook Air (late 2010): After an initial stutter on the HTML5 side (where the ball was served), both sides perform equally to my eyes.

Perhaps you're better at controlling the {A,Z} keys with your left hand than you are at controlling {K,M} with your left?

I guess it would if the idea is to show one has superior performance over the other. I was just commenting from the perspective of having a more uniform experience on both sides.

Pre-Atom Eee 900, Linux, Chrome 6, the Flash side is almost unplayably sluggish, while the HTML5 side zips along.

#58Both ran smoothly (FF 3.6.12), but there were some collision issues with HTML5. Hitting the ball with the side of the paddle almost always results in the ball passing through it.

#59Gah. 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 to play. /rant over
Awesome demo tho. Would love to see source of the flash part (maybe I missed it) so we could compare the source, not just performance (which seems to be about the same on my 5 year old laptop).
edit: who's now working on a (HTML5|Flash) vs Silverlight demo? That would be even more awesome.

#60I would definitely like to see the source for this. Over time, it's become a lot more clear to me that Flash's defaults (and the normal tutorial code you read) are tuned for high resolution advertising contexts, mostly, so the need for taking steps to get good real-time / interactive performance out of Flash isn't always totally obvious to people.
