Project Notes

A simple pong game


INSTRUCTIONS

*Move mouse to control paddle

*Don't let the ball fall into the lava


HOW I MADE THIS

*The paddle just moves it's X coordinate to whatever the mouse's X coordinate is

*I drew the ball using the gradient effect in the paint editor

*The trickiest thing for me was to get the ball to bounce off the paddle right. I ended up going on the website and finding how someone else had done it: "point in direction (180 - direction)". I still find this confusing but it works really well. Then I turn a random amount to make it more interesting.


MORE IDEAS

Make the game more complex or change images.
