That's 3D pong playing against a WALL

I don't want that shit

I want the old, retro, black and white pong like in the picture

How fucking hard can it get?

>>60125522
/usr/lib/xscreensaver/pong

>>60125833
> screensaver
I want to actually play it

Do you think I didn't run

sudo apt-cache search --names-only pong

?

>>60125871
also ran

sudo apt-cache search pong

but no results either

>>60125871
But you can. I'd give you gif of me doing it, but I don't know how to record to gif.

>>60125894
I installed xscreensaver and xscreensaver-data-extra, no you can't play it

It's an original name© most likely reserved for some future bullshit program no one will care about.

>>60125522
Program your own, brainlet

Actually, it's "why did nobody write Pong".

>>60126275
Actually, it's "why has nobody written Pong".

>>60126348
Shit, you're right.

FINE FAGGOTS.

I'M ON IT.

You can see a lot of pong implementations all over the internet that you could possible compile & install or execute as-is. They're just about all unmaintained.

>>60126495
Yet nobody bothered to put it on official repo.

It's going to be one beautiful pong.c file and the whole world is going to play it on the year of Linux desktop

I have the atari classic disc for Xbox which has the original pong on it, among other things. Comfy af on a 50 inch TV with friends.

Thanks for your support!

GNU/Linux unable to get pong, people going to the bother of creating the game to be able to play it.
This thread should be archived, this is pure gold.

Yeah plenty of pongs exist, but RHEL and Debian and Ubuntu repos see no reason to host it.

I always get pissed off when trying to install Chromium on a new Linux box.

 sudo apt-get install chromium 
 

Installs some faggot plane shoot em up game.

>>60127478
If I emailed them, would they host my pong on their repo on next release, since there is no stand-alone pong as of right now?
