Let's code a really simple Tennis/Ping Pong game, shall we?

Last night I sat and wrote a vague tutorial'ish thing for SmileBASIC.

A quick "game" tutorial type thing for a silly little game, created using PetitCom/SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch.
If you've grabbed a copy from the Japanese eShop, you should be able to follow along, since the program itself now includes a complete English translation.
I'll assume you're using the program with a USB Keyboard attached, but if not, most of the keyboard functionality can be accessed by hitting the [-] button on your controller.

From the main menu, hit t...
