Simple Pong

While listening to a YouTube video about programming, the creator mentioned that one could make Pong in a few weekends just for the kicks, so I decided to give it a go.

I used pygame and might venture into recreating it in the browser with Canvas, but that's for another day.

If you want to run this, you'll need a font named "pong-font.ttf" in the root. I didn't upload it due to licensing restrictions, but for dev I used this one from Google Fonts.

Setup:

$> python3 -m venv venv
$> . ./venv/bin/activate
$> pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$> python3 main.py

Controls

• Up/Down arrows for player 1
• W/S keys for player 2

TODO:

I have no idea the best practices for pygame so there's probably plenty to change.

Optimizations, effects, etc.
