Be careful, especially if you do anything commercial with this: "Pong" is trademarked by Atari. Fun game, but might need to choose a different name...

“Not Trademarked Pong” would be the snarky name for it. But probably wouldn’t hold up in court.

Call it "Bong" because in "Pong" you control the [P]addles but in "Bong" you control the [B]all. Is that too close to the trademark, though?
