What better way to bounce back from the previous lost project then to create a game... that bounces! Pong was one of the very first games released in Circa 1972 (been wanting to use this word!) for Atari and widely used as a beginner programmer course to learning game coding. I've added my own personal flair to the game along with 0 players (AI vs. AI), 1 player (you vs. AI) and 2 players locally (same computer) choices and 3 different modes. (Easy, Medium & Hard)

Another great game! I played it on browser, and here’s my feedback:

  • Small typo: for the controls, you wrote “W” and “A” instead of “W” and “S”.
  • I’d let the player(s) know in the beginning what the win condition is. I wasn’t sure when the game was gonna end. Bonus points if you can allow the player to set it themselves!

I found some cool pong variations I thought I’d share. Maybe you can use one of them as inspiration for a future project:

Overall, you did a great job again! Looking forward to playing the next game you work on :)

Really appreciate the feedback! I enjoyed the 2 videos and the ideas that were used as variation! Definately something to look into. I also took into account from your other feedback about using "Enter" and mouse button which i will implement here.

I realized i did not put up a devlog yet with the next round of features I will be working on. I will release it later today.

Take care! - Aeth
