Awesome, that's great to here. Still to do before I release this, hopefully this evening:
| Quote: | | 1) Make each calculator display the score every time either player scores. The left and right calcs will display "Leading N-M" or "Trailing M-N", while the middle calc(s) will display "Left|Right Player Leads","N to M". |
Done.
| Quote: | | 1a) Fix paddle hit detection to be more forgiving |
Done.
| Quote: | | 2) Add logo and url in splashscreen |
Done.
| Quote: | | 3) Disable debug indicator |
Done, but then I got confused when it froze, so I brought it back in a more limited form for now.
| Quote: | | 4) Pack up emulator version (with calculator ID populator) and hardware calc version (without that feature) |
Not done. Should I post a beta here first?
Also adding a splash and winner notification on Game Over.

Will do. I'm still working on some final tweaks, like fixing the paddles to be more correct (which I just did) and adding a note of who won at the Game Over screen (which I also just did). I just noticed a bit of oddness with pausing that I need to track down.

Link cap? Can you be more specific about that?
@Qazz: Thanks.

How many calculators can you link at one given time?

With CALCnet2.2, an arbitrarily-large number. Because this particular program makes you pretty the number keys to select the calculator's left-to-right position, it's limited artificially to being 9-calculator NetPong, but that's just a limitation of the interface, not of CALCnet.

Sweet!
IDEA!
Platformer with variable heights (meaning the calculator is lower than the one next to it)? 
Or does CALCnet have a ceiling in code?

A ceiling of what? It's just data that gets passed back and forth, you could do whatever you want. Screen-spanning is not a built-in feature of the protocol, it's an application built on top, so if you want to do something with screen spanning and a platformer, you can choose to put the calculators wherever you want in relation to each other.

Indeed. I also want to explore some of the possible gaming applications that don't require LCD proximity, for example a 4-player game of cards of some kind.

Sure, something like that. Card games and the programming thereof aren't really my forté, though, so hopefully someone else will want to code that up/

Do the one that's $4.50 instead of $3 with $2 shipping!

*bump* Looks like there's one problem left - if you pause when the ball is getting transmitted between calcs, the ball will get lost and some calcs will fail to pause. Any suggestions on a fix?

How about not letting you pause when in that area? You could have pausing be disabled during that time, or delayed until it is available again.
To give better suggestions I'll need more info on how the ball program works.
BTW, I can test with an 84+ connected to an nspire once the beta's out.

Awesome. Well, the problem is that the calculator that is about to issue a pause has no way of knowing ahead of time that another calculator is about to try to send a ball screen change packet. The main solution I can think of is be more specific about the packets that are allowed to end a pause, and if a non-un-pause packet is caught from in a pause, the packet needs to be dealt with, then the calculator should ideally re-enter the Pause state.
