About
Pong is a 1972 sports arcade game created by Allan Alcorn for Atari, originally built as a training exercise; its concept was based on an electronic ping-pong game from the Magnavox Odyssey console, which led Magnavox to later sue Atari for patent infringement. Javascript Pong is a small HTML5 canvas experiment implementing Pong, also distributed as a Chrome Web Store app; it has no support for mobile or touch devices. Development has halted.
