About Pong
Pong is the video game equivalent to ping pong. Two players or one player and the computer, play against each other. To score a point you must get the ball past your opponent's paddle. The ball is able to bounce off the top and bottom of the screen.
My Version
My version of the game was created with the AWT and Swing libraries. The Ball class contains the game logic including the collisions with the paddles. The Paddle class contains the logic for incrementing the score.
Issues
There are a few known issues:
- The ball position and speed do not scale properly with the resizing of the window and therefore can get lost off screen or change relative speed.
- The game does not appear to start unless the window is resized.
