 // Updated version of the official firmware for the Outrageous Circuits RETRO
-// Modified by G. Andrew Duthie (devhammer)
+//
+// mod150106 - Modified by G. Andrew Duthie (devhammer)
 // Changes:
 // - Added sounds for all ball bounces
 // - Changed ball from square to circle
 // - Adjusted collision detection to add ball speed every 10 paddle hits
 // - Added scoring
 // - Added mute function (not fully implemented...needs to be set up on a button).
+//
+// mod150115 - Modified by Maxint
+// Changes:
+// - Upped the I2C frequency to make the Accelerometer useable in actual gameplay
+// - Added paddle control using tilting of the console
+// - Changed left-right button control to make it a bit more logical
+// - tied mute function to the circle button and added el cheapo debouncing
+// - reduced flickering by only redrawing paddle and ball when changed position
