7th Grade Whiz Kid Releases iPhone Game – Pong
Back in May, we wrote about an iPhone game developed by a 12-year old called Moo Cow Fury. The game incorporates a cow, poop and fire … typical 7th grade stuff … but still solid considering the kid isn’t even in high school.
Well we recently came across another “whiz kid” application … also developed by a 7th grader … called Pong – iPhone Edition [iTunes]. Although Pong does not contain poop, farts, fire or vomit … it’s a heck of a 70’s tribute game and should earn your consideration regardless of the developer’s age.
Meet Jonah Grant. By day he’s a typical 7th grader … but at night he becomes a whiz kid app developer. Pong is Jonah’s first iPhone app release and regardless of this rookie developer’s age … it’s a hit! Pong was originally released in 1972 by Atari and quickly became the first commercially successful video game. 37 years later, Jonah’s Pong is a very worthy game for all ages to enjoy. The gameplay is smooth and realistic … the user interface is clean and friendly … and the icon, logo and game graphics are outstanding – this is one sharp looking Pong application.
Being the whiz kid and dedicated developer he is, Jonah is already coding Pong to make it even more kick ass. Soon, Pong will accommodate two person gameplay, wirelessly on separate devices via Bluetooth … and Jonah is planning to integrate the hottest rage – the OpenFeint social gaming platform.
Bluetooth Technology – OpenFeint Platform – Objective-C Language … crazy techie stuff and totally impressive for a kid who still has to be in bed by 9:30pm. So what the heck … support Jonah by visiting the App Store and downloading Pong – iPhone Edition [iTunes] for only 99 cents … plus you can catch up with Jonah on Twitter @jonahman2003 – just be sure to tweet him before 9:30pm!
