A classic paddle-and-ball game inspired by Pong (1972), built with Godot 4.5 and GDScript.
Zero dependencies. Pure procedural rendering — no sprites, no textures. Procedural audio — no sound files. Everything is generated at runtime.
- 2-player local (W/S vs O/L) or vs AI opponent
- AI trajectory prediction at higher difficulties — the AI doesn't just track, it predicts
- Adjustable ball speed, paddle size, and AI difficulty via bottom bar sliders
- Dark/light theme toggle with full UI theming
- Window management — fullscreen, windowed (1280x720), minimize
- Ball trail effect with fade and size falloff
- Score flash — brief screen pulse when a point is scored
- Serve delay — short pause between points for rhythm
- Ball speed cap — prevents tunneling on long rallies
- Procedural sound effects — retro sine wave beeps for paddle hits, wall bounces, and scoring
- Modern typography — serif/sans-serif font pairing (Noto Serif + Noto Sans)
- Title screen with pulsing call-to-action
