3D Wireframe Paddle Ball
An early electronic contest, reshaped in wireframe.
Defend your lane and race to 3 across six sculpted arenas. Read the trajectory, master each surface, and challenge the CPU or a local opponent.
Developed by Dragonborn Marketing. Published by Procedural Studios.
The initial demo
A playable foundation, built to grow.
Version 0.1.1 continues the complete first-to-3 match loop, six arena shapes, solo CPU play, local two-player play, keyboard controls, and a layout designed for touch-capable browsers.
This is an initial demo rather than the final release. Future improvements and added content will be announced through the news and release-notes feed.

Captured gameplay
One scoring loop, six spatial reads.
This silent 30-second capture shows actual play in the Flat arena. The video does not autoplay.
Six arenas
The court is no longer flat.
Each arena changes how the ball’s route reads while keeping the same approachable scoring objective.
Keyboard and mouse
Start with Space. Move with A and D.
- A / D — move Player 1
- ↑ / ↓ — move Player 2 in local mode
- Space — serve
- T — switch CPU or local two-player mode
- Tab — cycle arena
- B — cycle ball skin
- R — reset the match
- Mouse wheel — adjust camera distance
- Escape — pause or return to the menu
Compatibility note
The demo has passed automated play checks in current desktop Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Phone and tablet layouts are designed for touch-capable browsers and include visible touch controls, but physical Android and iPhone testing is still pending.
The game is rendered to a canvas. Its current on-canvas controls do not yet provide complete semantic screen-reader equivalents. See the accessibility statement for the known version 0.1.1 limitations.
Historical frame
From a 1958 demonstration to six new worlds of play.
Brookhaven National Laboratory introduced William Higinbotham’s Tennis for Two on October 18, 1958. Two people used separate controllers to play an electronic tennis game driven by an analog computer and displayed on an oscilloscope.
An independent modern game
