01 // PROJECT AT A GLANCE

PONG

PY

Two-player Pong in Python: the 1972 game that launched the entire video game industry.

The grandfather of video games, re-coded in Python: two paddles, a ball, and a score. A two-player version on the same keyboard, with separate victory screens for the red player and the blue player.

Two-player Pong in pygame, sharing the architecture of the brick breaker in the same folder: menu, game loop, entities and end screens.
