O.K. Attached. The diff is against the version of gamegrid.el that
comes with Emacs 21.2. AFAICS there are some changes in the current
CVS. Could this cause problems? I am not familiar with diff & patch.

*hehehe* I was quicker.

Oh, that's easy:
(defvar pong-ball-glyph
"/* XPM */
static char * ball_xpm[] = {
\"16 16 4 1\",
\" c Black\",
\"+ c Red4\",
\"- c Red1\",
\". c Red\",
\" ------ \",
\" ---------- \",
\" ----....--++ \",
\" ---........+++ \",
\" --..........++ \",
\"---..........+++\",
\"--............++\",
\"--............++\",
\"--............++\",
\"--............++\",
\"---..........+++\",
\" --..........++ \",
\" ---........+++ \",
\" -+++....++++ \",
\" ++++++++++ \",
\" ++++++ \"};")
(defvar pong-ball-options
`(((glyph [xpm :data ,pong-ball-glyph])
(t ?\*))
((color-x color-x)
(mono-x grid-x)
(color-tty color-tty))
(((glyph color-x) [1 0 0])
(color-tty pong-ball-color))))
This reveals, however, a problem with my patch:
As I said, I use `display-images-p' and then `find-image' to get
either XPM or PBM; the latter AFAIU is supposed to be always available
if `display-images-p' returns t.
This is o.k. for all games that come with Emacs. But it could lead to
unexpected results for packages like sokoban.el or for pong if you add
the image above: if an Emacs is compiled without support for XPM,
there is no PBM as a fall-back.
