Pong
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
This game was made for a challenge.
The theme was "The Machine Dreams" and there was 4 days of time to make it.
About
It's kind of hard to describe the game without giving spoilers.
You play pong for days, but something's off. The Pong AI is really difficult to beat and you struggle for days. The AI is getting tired, but hold on. What's happening?
Endings
This game has 2 distinct endings. One is the normal ending and the other is an Easter egg of sorts.
Controls

Troubleshoot
In case something doesn't work.
Can't Press Play
In case you can't press the play button you should confirm that the libnexus.so or nexus.dll (depending on your platform) is in the same folder as the executable.
Set binary to executable
You can do this either from the command line or from most file managers.
On file managers you should look for something like properties -> executable.
On command line you can just set the binary executable with this command. (Assuming you're in the same folder as the binary)
chmod +x Pong.x86_64
