pongClock Widget plays Pong against itself. While this sounds useless, there is one reason: The score always displays the current time.

Today, this is only a "technical preview"; the clock works okay but has not been extensively tested. It runs completely through Javascript and it consumes some CPU-Time, namely about 10% ~ 11% on a 1 GHz G4 PowerBook. Of course, it does not run while the dashboard is hidden and does therefore consume no power then.

What's New:
Game-mode implemented
play as right player against the widget
if you win, the level increases, if you lose, vice versa
pause and resume the game at any time
press the up-arrow or down-arrow to move the bar, any other key to pause/resume
Choose between 12h or 24h mode
a few settings are available
the widget can check for a new version
many invisible changes.
