PONG by jperry6

 

My pong game! The hardest I’ve ever worked for 5%. Breathtaking visuals, awe-inspiring music, and sound effects that make you feel like you’re really there.

Extra Features:

  • when lost, the ball resets to the centre, and starts moving in a random direction every time (either left or right angles can happen) at an approximately similar speed no matter what direction.
  • paddles cannot go past the top and bottom walls, and never move sideways, rotate, or get stuck.
  • clearly legible scores shown for both players, and scores are correctly calculated as play progresses.
  • game play proceeds to end of match (first to 10 points), then displays winning message that identifies winner, and gameplay ceases (ball doesn’t re-centre and paddles stop moving)
  • upon gameplay ceasing (as above), a “play again?” message is shown, when clicked, game restarts with scores, paddles, and ball reset.
  • player can select 1- or 2- player from the title screen, and play against either the AI or another human, at the end of a match, the game returns to this screen (i.e. it functions as the “play again?” option)
  • different sound effects added for each of the following: ball hitting the paddle, ball hitting the wall, ball going off the screen, and end of match.
  • ball increases in speed with each hit.
