Added group control to my Mobile Pong game.

Last Updated or created 2025-12-31

Two player mobile pong using secure mqtt I made a few months ago.

Today I tested my group playing mode while at family to celebate xmas.

I was filming during testing to get responses. I can’t post this because of everyone being in the shot.

What worked:

  • Response of multiple mobile phones was good
  • Measuring average movement worked great
    (3 People moving up and one down? – going up)
  • 8 Players tested

To do:

  • Iphones have a problem sending tilt, I’ve got a problem with Iphones in general 🙂
  • Screen timeout, I have to add javascript to keep the mobile device screen on. No problem
  • Number of players on the left and number of players on the right visible in the screen. Do-able
  • Timeout for disapearing phones! ..
  • QR join code on the play screen
  • Starting ball futher away from paddle, to give player more time to react

Nice to have:

  • Muliple games at the same time. Now hard coded.
  • ?
