I have made a Ping Pong game. I have made this using Python and Pygame. This game is like a classic ping pong game. You can choose whether you want to play with a friend (It is not multiplayer but you can use the same keyboard to play with your friend) or you can choose a difficulty to play against a bot. Every level when you hover has a fun little decoration like for easy it is green particles around the button, for medium it is lightning strike buzzing and for the hard one it is red horns pulsing. I have added a retro style main screen. When you hover over a button then it glows. It has more things that are listed on my GitHub. Thank you for testing my game out!

I have completed the game. I have added a lot of new things on the ui side and to make the game better and fun. Firstly I have added a animation depicting the game mode you chose. For easy it is small green colored balls, for medium it is lightning bolts having animating like they are buzzing and for hard I have horns coming out with an pulse animation. Then I added a small glow to the ball & a ball trail which resets after a point is scored. I have also added a glowing paddle and a hit effect when the ball collides with the paddle. Then I added a pause menu which pops up when you press escape key. You can choose resume, main menu or quit. And I will be shipping the project soon! You can see the changes in the video attached below.

In this hour I have worked a bit on improving the UI. Whenever I opened the game to test it out the boring black background made it boring as well. So I have added pop colors and made it pop as soon as you open with retro style background. Additionally when you hover over a button then it glows to a bright cyan color which makes it interesting and lets the user know what they are about to choose so that they don’t choose the wrong game mode. I might add like power ups for the game next, not sure though what to add. You can see all these updates in the video attached below.

In this hour I have added a How to play menu and a back button to back to go back to the main menu. In this menu I have added all the information about controls and the game. Then I worked mostly on making the computer modes better. Like before I did make it like easy, medium and hard but it wasn’t that noticeable but now I tried a couple of things and now I think the game modes are much better than what they were before. Next I am thinking to make the UI better and all. Also I added a more of random and sharp bounce and coded so that with each hit the ball speed increases. Any suggestions are welcome!

Ok, so in this hour I have added a computer player like I did in the formula 1 style game. Then I created a main starting screen where you can select whether you want to “Play with friend” or “Play against computer”. If you select with a friend then you will 2 paddles which can be controlled by W & S for the left paddle and Up arrow key & Down arrow key for the right paddle. If you select to play against a computer then you have to select the difficulty of the computer. Three difficulties: Easy, Medium & Hard. I will be trying to add new features, more controls to the main menu and more next time.

I have used this hour and half to make the basic version of the ping pong game. What it essentially does is that you have 2 paddles, 2 players, 2 scores and a ball. Currently the game is 2 player. In future time I will be adding computer version so that it can be played by a single player. Whoever gets to 10 points first then that side wins and the game will reset and will have a text showing who won. I will be adding more better UI to the game but for now I made the basic version of the game. You can see the game in action in the video.
