I don’t often link to games, but Plasma Pong is some exceptional student work. From the readme:
Plasma Pong is a variant of the popular PONG game, with a high tech twist - it uses computational fluid dynamics to drive the environment. As the game starts you will have to duke it out against the opposing paddle, using the fluid as your weapon. To do this you can shoot plasma out of the paddle to push the fluid around, which in turn pushes the ball around. Another weapon at your disposal is the ability to suction fluid back into your paddle.
You can play single-player or multiplayer. It’s available for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista at PlasmaPong.com. To see the game in action, check out this YouTube video.
The game was written by Steve Taylor, a student at George Mason University. Nice work, man.
