Pong for a newbie

[LionelGoulet]

Lecture 00 demonstrates the Pong game, long about slide #5.
I'm teaching it in a week to my sons.
I've got the hardware simulator pretty well figured out at this point, but  I haven't "taken" the course yet so how can I (quickly) run whatever it takes to demonstrate Pong?
Thank you.

I think that the easiest thing to do would be to load projects/06/pong/Pong.asm into the CPU Emulator. Be sure to set the speed slider to Fast, the Animate dropdown to "No animation", and the View dropdown to "Screen". Hit Run (the >> button). There won't be any I/O for a few seconds during the O/S initialization but then Pong will begin. On my fairly old Windows system, it runs a bit slow in the CPU Emulator but is playable.
