Ping Pong Game

A simple two-player Pong game where players compete to keep the ball in play and score points. The main purpose of making this game is to enhance my skills further and to practice programming. I started this project from scratch to simulate the process of understanding the requested tasks to make a project.

Features

1. Basic classic Pong mechanics.
2. Player vs Player mode.
3. Basic UI for score display.
4. Simple menu setting to change colors.

How to Run

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

   git clone 'https:\\github.com\MXD-K1\Ping-Pong-Game.git'

2. Ensure Python is installed (Python version >= 3.6 is required).
   You can verify your Python version with:

   python --version

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install pygame

4. If you are not in code file write this into the terminal:

   cd code 

5. Run the main script:

   python main.py

Controls

1. To move the first paddle use the keys w, s.
2. To move the second paddle use the up and down arrow keys.
3. To end a game use k. The reason is that it is far form the first player movement keys.

Current goals:

1. Refactoring and simplifying the code
2. Adding a basic AI to the game.
