Sing Pong

Based on https://github.com/metulburr/pong Tested only on Ubuntu Linux. Should work for macOS, maybe Windows.

Dependencies:

• PortAudio library (follow install instructions for your OS): http://www.portaudio.com/
• Python 3.5: https://www.python.org/downloads/
• pip (you probably already have this): https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

Installation:

• 'git clone https://github.com:earthfront/sing_pong.git'
• Install portaudio library for your OS.
• pip install -r requirements.txt

To run single player:

• 'python ./game.py' ** This should pick up the default input audio device

To run two players:

• Attach USB microphone.
• Get input device info: ** 'python ./show_input_devices.py' ** Note the indices of two input devices with Max Input Channels > 0. Let's call these numbers X and Y, for each input device index.
• Run 'python ./game.py -1 X -2 Y' where you replace X and Y with the numbers from the above step
• X is the right paddle. Y is the left paddle.

More info and settings:

• Fullscreen: 'python ./game.py -f'
• Help: 'python ./game.py -h'

It's not working

• Check your audio device settings. Make sure the device is not muted, and is at a normal volume level (for INPUT).
• Reboot. Sometimes the drivers or whatever get borked.
• Check PortAudio troubleshooting: http://www.portaudio.com/
• If the paddle seems out of control, slowly move your pitch up and down and reduce the range of your pitch. The frequency range is small to accommodate most voices.

Notes

• Tested only on Ubuntu Linux. Should work for macOS, maybe Windows.
