Pong and Ping-Pong are very different.

Pong involves a ball that is never "hit". It just bounces off the surfaces of the boundary walls and the little rectangular receivers. With each bounce, it's speed is increased. Pong is also traditionally a 2D game.

Whereas ping-ping, is played in a 3D environment and it involves players hitting the ball, and they don't rely on walls, they have to aim it towards the opponent on the opposite side and also make it over the small net. And when the ball lands on your side it can only bounce once then you have to hit it.

So Canyarion, I don't know where the little outburst came from, but everything about it was incorrect.
