Deskball Description

Deskball is a simple widget developed for the Yahoo! Widget Engine platform, that offers you a fun environment for playing a game of Ping Pong right on your desktop. You can use it to take a small break from work and relax. The interface of the app is based on a large frame placed right in the middle of the screen, where you can use the mouse cursor and keys to play the game. The functional keys of the keyboard let you edit display preferences, disable sound effects and change the theme, as well as pause the game or start a new one. Theme colors focus on white, black, orange and "Dealio". Plus, you can adjust the game speed, field size, background opacity and color, along with the computer difficulty level. In addition, you can disable mouse control, play with another person instead of the AI, redefine keys for the up and down commands for both players, as well as make the frame stay on top of other windows. Deskball does not put a strain on the workstation's activity, as it uses a very low amount of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and works fine, without causing the Yahoo! Widget Engine to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. All in all, Deskball offers users a simple solution to relax and play a game of Ping Pong on their desktops.
