Getting Started

Development for our version of a Pong-like game has started. Jack and I established some of the basic design specifications such as:
  • Game will be played horizontally, with the paddles on the left and right side
  • Mouse will control the player's paddle for quick and precise movement
  • Single player game with a smart computer is the primary design, two players on the same computer may be added later on if time allows
  • Sound effects and possibly music will complement the game
  • Unique game play elements to separate our game from the countless other pong clones
Jack began work on some of the basic game structures while I made some methods to draw the paddles and ball in our art style.
