Who would have thought in the year 2021 that there would be a place on the interwebs posting a PONG script for RPG MAKER XP?

I'm back in the RMXP groove completing my projects (some from 10 years ago) and out to inspire all of you with RMXP projects that are holding hours and hours of your effort that you have yet to complete.

To reignite your RMXP spark, here's the b@dde$t pong script you will ever find for RPG Maker XP! The original script got kicked around a few times but it wasn't complete, in fact, you couldn't hit ESC nor was it compatible with other scripts that affect frame rate yada yada.

There are no graphics required, there are CONSTANTS variables for easy configuration, and if you get any good, you can do some mean spins!
You do need a sound effect and background music.
