Kinect Pong Uploaded


SGD is back to uploading completed games, and we have uploaded Kinect Pong for anyone with a Kinect who is interested in playing! Our team was smaller than SGD's standards, but the project turned out to be a great success. We had really dedicated members, and ended up with a fully playable game with three levels of AI.

You can download the game here.
