OK, added the following cool features....

1 - Powered bumpers
You can adjust the power 0-5

2 - Gravity
This helps suck the balls into the pockets

3 - Internet Play enabled and tested via LAN
up to 4 players using TCP client-server setup.

4 - Sound effects added

This currently does not support chat. I did cheat though

If you click on the launch chat option, it launches a java chat irc.
Actually, It just launches you to the DarkBasic chat room.
Its simple and fully functional without alot of traffic.
From the DB chat room you can create your own room to chat
or simply to help in connecting or troubleshooting.

Setting bumper power to 5 while enabling gravity results in a very short game. Expect each player to shoot about 2 times at most before a winner is determined.

waffle, add a very minor random component to the vectors and you get rid of the repeating pattern issue

All done.
Added sound effects too.
Multiplayer code even works.

For chat, you still need to use a third party irc.
Just call me lazy.
