tennis live on kthx

Post by beefsack »

looking at the mainpage at the moment made me nostalgic about the great tennis days of yore :ban: and i thought to myself "those were good days, when i used to play tennis. oh well, everything has to die sometime".

a few days ago i played tennis again, and to my utter dumbfoundment (real word?) the game truly is addictive and an incredible crapload of fun :offtopic:

fizz/rens ::Pfffff:: dont let tennis die. its ok if there isnt much added, the game is all there, just the bugs are a bit annoying. dont let tennis be left out of 2.0. im saying this cos i know that no-one will prolly heed the call for a replacement programmer :mad:

if the ball is smahed at a very fast speed it will leave a crack in the floor for a while and a few stones will fly out.

The ball skin is bad, if you go close to it its a jumble of crappy colours.

easy mode isnt fully planned out yet but it will make it very easy to play in exchange for losing some "pro" moves like smash.
Easy mode will perhaps make your volley radius bigger or automatically make you dodge towards the ball and hit it if you are within a certain radius..something like that.

It would change the buttons so that left click automatically hits the ball at the right height to get over the net. Right click would allow you to hit it at the height you aim.

New versions of tennis suck. The reason that tennis died is because you changed the game completely. The first version was awesome and everyone played it. Once you changed that it died. change it back to the first beta version kthx
