Demos

There are two Demos packaged with Go2D which demonstrate the use of some of it's data structures.

• Pong: A basic example of the classic game of Pong with a mild twist where the paddles shrink in size each time the ball collides with them.

• Shooter: A simple Shooter game where balls will spawn at the top and you can shoot them by pressing the space bar.
