I'm quite surprised by the lack of feedback from the community...Ping! Demo (My new demo...)

I played it on a P4 1.7 ghz with 256 mb ram and 16 mb ATI Rage 128 ultra graphics card (surprisingly quite crappy for being a school computer). I got a constant frame rate of 35 fps (well, it's what RF says under the debug menu).
I also tried it on my P4 2.4 ghz, 1 gb ram and GeForce 4 MX 64 mb graphics card. I forgot to check the actual frame rate but I did notice it running better than the first machine. I will get you an actual number later tonight.
Awesome work on this Federico. I hope this little bit of info helps and if you need more details let me know.

thanks Froach! 
Your informations are really kind but i only need to know how the physic works on your system. If you turn on debug, you will notice that the ball is inclined to "fly". This happens beacuse the scripted physic is influenced by the internal time counting of the engine. So actualy I don't know if someone is experiencing some trouble (I see that the ball has different response depending on different render type). I want to know if the game is still enjoyable and playable. Reading your words i think "yes" and so thanks again

it ran pretty well on my comp. at a good framerate that is.
852mhz Celeron
256 RAM
128MB Verto GeForce FX 5200 PCI
But as a whole it seemed kinda buggy (as Simkin scripts usually are). My paddle would fall off the table frequently. The enemy AI usually just kinda sat there and did nothing, and after a couple matches, no matter what i did the ball would always fly to the immediate 90* left when i hit it, and 90* right when the enemy hit it.
I think it was some great work, but honestly i think there's only so far Simkin can take this. At least as it's integrated into RF.
the original Celeron (like i have) was the crappy processor intel put out so that they could sell cheap PC's that had bigger MHz numbers but slower performance. So just about anything is twice as fast as a celeron, at least in my experience.

I played it again today and... It's a funny game!
I really don't mind HOW I did it! If It works on other machines (I really didn't understand how different it works depending on cpu and video-card), this is probably the more labourious but badly forgotten game for RF . I hope that someone, except GD1 ANdy froach85 hike, has played it...

Very good physics seemed fine on my laptop running a 1.2ghz intel with 512mb ram and a Radeon Mobility 9200 video card.
Only thing I didn't like was I felt the paddle was sluggish in moving left and right.
Everything else however was very nice.
