I'm about the only one around here that isn't at the GDC this year, so today we get a nice, hearty mid-week GDNet Daily. Hurrah!
Unity 3.0: You may have seen the press release on the frontpage a couple of days ago, but I'll recap it here for you. Those nice chaps at Unity Technologies just don't stop, do they? On Monday it was announced that the Unity Engine will be hitting its third major version, bringing PS3 support, iPad support, Android support and integration of Umbra Software's occlusion culling middleware and Illuminate Labs' "Beast" lighting engine. The iPhone version has also been upgraded to add Bluetooth support and increase the speed of GUIs and 2d sprites.
Rebelllion Layoffs: Develop are running a story claiming that UK developer Rebellion will be axing 20 staff from their Oxford studio, whilst their troubled Derby studio is presumed to be closed after events in January saw it enter a period of consultancy. I tip my hat to you guys.
Steam on Mac: Great news for Mac owners. Valve's worst-kept secret was confirmed yesterday - the Mac will see the release of both Steam and the Source engine in April. This brings games such as Portal, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life and many others to the Mac platform. Good news for owners of both PC and Mac because Valve are also letting you buy the games once and download to both systems and that as the Mac is being treated on the same footing as the PC, meaning that updates to games will hit Windows- and Mac-based machines together. Well done Valve, the world applauds you.
XNA 4.0: Microsoft's XNA team used the GDC to announce the forthcoming release of XNA Game Studio 4.0, which includes support for the new Windows Mobile 7 mobile phones. Zune HD developers are being "encouraged" to migrate to the Windows Mobile 7 platform, basically meaning that XNA on the Zune will stay at 3.1 and won't move forward to 4.0. Is this a sign that the Zune will be phased out?
OnLive Dated & Priced: The US Launch of cloud-based gaming service OnLive will be with us in June for the PC & Mac and will cost $14.95 a month. There's no news about a European launch yet, but I imagine many people will be watching the US launch with great interest.
PSP on Phyre: PSN developers have long had access to the PhyreEngine, a free piece of engine technology developed in-house by Sony for the creation of PS3 games. Sony used this year's GDC to announce that the PhyreEngine will be expanded onto the PSP, allowing PSP developers to take advantage of the technology. The release of the engine to the PSP goes some way to show that Sony are still serious about the platform.
Enjoy the rest of your week, folks.

Ping Pong Game -- Simple and Fun to Play
By Susan Jan
Ping pong, otherwise known as table tennis, is a popular indoor sport enjoyed by many around the world in facilities ranging from recreation clubs to school common rooms etc. Ping pong is very similar to tennis in that players on opposite sides of the ping pong table hit the ball back and forth over a net. But similarities end there as ping pong is played on a table surface rather than a hard court, thus the name "table tennis." To enjoy a of ping pong, you need a ping pong ball, a net, ping pong table, and paddles.
Rules of Ping Pong
In a ping pong the first player to reach 21 points is declared the winner. However, upon one player reaching 21 points with the opponent trailing less than 2 points, the must continue until one player takes a definite 2 point lead over the opponent, at which point that player is declared the winner.
To start a point the server serves the ball with the paddle to the opponent's side of the ping pong table. If the server fails to serve the ball into play, either by serving the ball into the net or serving it out, the point goes to the opponent. Once the ball is in play either player can score points. The players must hit the ball back to the opponents' side of the table. If one player fails to return the ball to the opponent's side either by netting the ball or hitting it out, the point then goes to the opponent.
To start a point with a serve, the server throws the ping pong ball up at least 6 inches and as it comes down the server hits the ball with the paddle. Before crossing over the net the served ball must hit the server's part of
the table first before bouncing a second time on the opponent's side. After the serve the ball remains in play as long as it clears the net and bounces once on the opponent's side of the table with each stroke. The point ends either when a player hits the ball into the net, or when the ball goes out without bouncing at all on the opponent's side of the table, at which time the opponent earns a point.
Ping pong games can be played as a single as well as a doubles game. In a doubles game, an additional rule is that the ball must be served diagonally across to the opposite court. If the server fails to serve to the diagonal area on the opposite side then the opponent gets the point.
As you can see the rules of the ping pong is nice and simple enough so that anyone new to ping-pong can easily enjoy a of ping-pong without much trouble and confusion.
