Ultimate Curveball is a 3D pong-like game modeled after the popular online flash game 'Curveball'. In it, the player is pitted against an AI opponent where the objective is to score as many points as possible by curving the ball into the goal. Both the player and the opponent have a set amount of lives and when the AI has lost all of its lives the player is moved to the next, more difficult, level. Bonus points are awarded depending on the severity of the curve that the player is able to apply to the ball.

To start the game, left-click on the paddle. This will start the ball moving an dstarts the game. After every score (for either player), the ball will be moved back to the center and the program will wait for user input (left-click on the paddle) before starting the new rally.

While the basics of playing were outlined in the 'How To Play' section, there are some other actions and keys that would benefit the player to know:

RIGHT CLICK - Right clicking inside the window will open the game's menu where the player can change the backround color, enable GLSL, change the paddle from a wireframe to a solid shape, start a new game, or exit.

SPACEBAR - The spacebar pauses (and unpauses) the game which is convenient if the player needs to change a setting or go to the washroom.

W - The W key changes the background color between White and Black.

E - The E key changes the paddle between a solid wood texture and a transparent wire object.

I/O - The I and O keys invert the background colors so that they are split half and half on the background, giving the game a cool effect.

Q - The Q key is a quick way to quit the game.

Robin & Gavin would like to thank you for playing our game.

Have fun!
