Pong against the calculator, first to seven. The rally starts polite and ends frantic, because the ball speeds up on every paddle hit.
Nothing listed in the connect popup: the calculator has to be plugged in and switched on to appear. Wake it up, check the USB cable (charge-only cables won't work), or move to a different port. Close any other tab that's using the calculator.

Controls
- Up arrow moves your paddle up a step. Down arrow moves it down a step. It stops on its own, and taps add up.
- On OS 7.1, holding the arrow keeps the paddle moving until you let go. On OS 7.0, tap it instead.
- ENTER stops the paddle where it is. The left and right arrows stop it too.
- CLEAR goes back to the title screen. Press it again there to quit.
- On the title screen, left / right arrows pick the difficulty and ENTER starts.
- When a match ends, ENTER plays again and the left / right arrows or CLEAR go back to the title screen.
Spin is the whole game
Where the ball meets your paddle decides where it goes next: catch it near the edge and it leaves at a steep angle, catch it dead center and it flattens out. Once you can aim your returns, you stop defending and start setting traps.
A beatable opponent
The CPU reacts a moment late and misjudges where the ball will land, worse on fast balls, so even a plain return can get past it. EASY is slow and guesses badly. HARD reacts quicker, guesses better and serves harder, but it still misses. Your wins are saved for each difficulty level.
