>Analogue computer for pong
To be fair I find this idea appealing and was initially going to go down that route since I prefer hardware over software but I have my hands full with other projects at the moment and it should probably be possible to write the program for it in a single day. I've already prototyped one deflection plate amplifier and it works fine at low frequencies. I didn't have any high voltage BJTs so I had to improvise and use IRF740s (not suitable for use in their linear region, I know) but even with those MOSFETs the deflection plate drivers are probably more than fast enough for pong. I've built up another amp to go with the first one so I can have independent control over X and Y deflection but I haven't tested the second one yet.
