Pong

INFO

A recreation of Pong using C++ with the Windows API. I followed a tutorial from Dan Zaidan on YouTube.

It took me a couple weeks to finish (throughout January 2025), and I spent most of my time reading documents and trying to understand how everything was working. It was really fun (and frustrating) to see how something as simple as Pong requires a ton of planning and thought when you're working from scratch. I can't imagine how larger games are built, but one day I hope to be a part of it!

HOW TO PLAY

When you start the game, you will be presented with a white box—this is basically the menu.  A white box on the left is two-player mode, and a white box on the right is one-player against an A.I.. You can't beat the A.I..

Sorry.

Pressing the Enter key will start the game. Player 1 uses the 'W' and 'S' keys, while Player 2 uses the Up and Down arrows. Click on the X to close the program.
