Scrolling Pong...
These days there are so many different types of projects in which you can make. Today, I was thinking about which types of projects I have yet to explored and I noticed I have never made a scrolling game or any sort of pong game. It was tough because I had to decide which type of project I wanted to make. I couldn't decide and so 'Scrolling Pong' was born.
'Scrolling Pong' is a little project of mine that combines a scrolling platformer game with the classic game of pong. As the background scrolls in my game the objective is to not let the green ball hit any of the red platforms. If it does, then try again!
Please feel free to remix my project in order to make it look better (I am a self-proclaimed horrible artist) or to add more terrain or features.
Link to the project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/DistantVisit/1282145
Have fun playing, and Scratch on!

Re: Scrolling Pong...
Very unique idea! What next,scrolling math?
A tad short, though. What if you added a thing where there are two balls at once? Or three?

Scrolling math? That seems like a nice idea. I'll keep that in mind for the future, and be sure to give you credit. 
Yeah, I didn't really planned to make it that long of a game with levels and such because it was just a little project I made for fun, but if you guys really like it I can make it into a very complicated, fun, and unique project.
I like the idea of adding more than one ball at a time per project, so I might add different levels using your suggestions.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

Another good idea, adding some sort of currency that you have to gather while scrolling. You've been very helpful to me.

Hey DistantVisit!
Somebody was advertising a gallery on here, so I made a new topic for them - however, your post had a part about their post telling them to maybe make their own topic. I edited that part out for you, as it was no longer relevant.

Thanks, I was about to ask a moderator to please do that but you read my mind ahead of time.
Anyway, thanks everyone for these nice comments.
