I like this, a lot.

But we don’t want

documentation about how to create your own Dock tile

What we want is an installable app or a program to run that will just make it happen.
Not all of us grok all this software coding stuff.

Yeah, it would be funny to have an icon of a tiny banjo player and call it ‘Dock Boggs’, but it probably wouldn’t really be worth the work.

I wonder if the size of the icon matches the resolution of the original game… :thinking:

Used to be, you didn’t even have to boot up your Mac to play pong: http://web.archive.org/web/20080726180427/http://members.aol.com/plforth/ofpong/20020313/ofpong.txt

What makes me feel old is none of my students would even know what Pong is (and apparently neither does auto-corrupt since it just changed the word to “Ping”):frowning:
