Pong Wars: A battle between day and night, good and bad

This was posted a while back. I thought it was beautiful:

Lazy browser console hack to speed it up without locking the browser completely or rehosting:

  (()=>{for(let l=setInterval(()=>{},0);l;)clearInterval(l--);const c=new MessageChannel;c.port1.onmessage=_=>(draw(),c.port2.postMessage(0));c.port2.postMessage(0)})()

It seems there are a lot of buggy positions which clear themselves given enough time. I managed to make it to 1,000,000 iterations without any permanent lockups (but some lasted a while)

The neat thing about this is that it's self-balancing: if one side grows smaller, the ball bounces more often and increases how quickly it regains territory.

Wasn't there a version of this with the yin and yang symbol posted recently? (Also there's a 2 year old hn post of this same thing)

This is fun!

Mine got stuck in a cycle for a bit, but broke the cycle just after I stopped screen recording: https://i.moveything.com/c1d941787599.mp4

Is there a version of this that works in a terminal and is 2-player?

(Likely vibe-codeable...)

Would love if there were some screenshots in the readme! Just my two cents :)

I like it!

Quick question, is the Day Pong a Master of Karate and friendship For Everyone?

What happens if the balls hit each other, singularity event?

this appears to be the reverse of the yin yang version someone made like a month or so ago

nice to see variety :)
