1) What is Paddle ball?
'Paddle ball' is a DOS based 2-player game in which you bounce a ball with paddles. It was written in c++ during my holidays. If you feel it is good feel free to send an email to johndavis@eth.net

2) Is it free?
Yes. This game is free so you can give it to your friends but without asking for a fee. It should contain this readme file also. It should not be used for commercial gain.

3) How do I play it?
This can be played with the arrow keys of the keyboard. From the menu choose the option of your choice and press 'Enter' key 

If you choose New Game a new game starts with the current control keys and difficulty. Using up/down arrow keys bring the paddles in the path of the ball and let it bounce back.In the higher difficulty levels it is advisable to bring the paddle to the middle before the ball is released so that both up and down is easily reachable. Press 'Escape' to bring a 'quit game(y/n)' option. The game will be paused. Press 'y' to quit to menu and 'n' to resume the game.

In controls option you can change the controls by pressing 'C' or reset it to default by pressing 'D'. Press the new key and press 'Enter'.

By default, sound is on. To turn it off select sound option and press 'Enter'. Pressing 'Enter' again turns on the sound with a beep.
