PongClock Live Wallpaper for Android

This one's been out for a while and has enjoyed way more success than I ever though it would! It's a PongClock Live Wallpaper for your Android 2.1+ device!

For those that don't know what a PongClock is, let me help you. You remember the game of Pong, right? Well, a PongClock is a game of pong that plays itself. Sounds boring, right? Well, see, it's a bit more organized than that. It keeps the time by the score, too! So, let's say that it's 12:56PM and you have your PongClock running. Well, when it's time for the clock to change to 12:57PM, this signals that it's time for player 1 to lose the ball thereby making player 2's score (i.e. the "minutes") to go up by 1! Get it? Pretty neat, eh?

Anyway, back to the PongClock Live Wallpaper.

There are about a million (give or take) options in here that allow you to customize it to your little heart's content. You can theme it like crazy, including even setting your own background image! There are some built in themes to show a bit what you can do.

So, a PongClock keeps the time by playing itself, right? Well, the PongClock Live Wallpaper even lets you play against the computer! It keeps score too (separate from the clock) so you can pick it up and play a couple rounds whenever and then pick up where you left off.

If you have a multitouch device, you can even play 2 players! Or just 1 player with 2 hands (for the ADD in all of us ;).

Check out this feature list:

  • Built-in themes
  • TONS of display options from changing the sizes and colors of the individual paddles, scores and divider
  • Add your own background image, or just change it to a color
  • Turn the divider on or off
  • Add "glow" to everything
  • "round" the elements so they don't look so square all the time
  • Show "scanlines" to emulate the way Pong would look like on an old CRT
  • 12 or 24 hour clock
  • You can PLAY the pong game too!
  • Change the size and position of the "field" and change field shadow and glow settings to make it look like a widget
  • Change the location of the score/clock
  • Change the speed of the gameplay and update settings to work with older android devices

NOTE: This is a Live Wallpaper, not an app! You do not launch it - you set it up in your wallpaper settings (long-click on an empty spot on your "desktop").

Check it out in the Google Marketplace by clicking here on your Android device, or by scanning in the QR code on the top.
