Inspiration:

I've always loved retro arcade/video games, and for SharkHacks 3 I wanted to give Blahaj the appreciation it deserves. Thus, the idea of BlahajPong was born.

What it does:

BlahajPong is a Blahaj themed recreation of the 1972 arcade game Pong, which was made by Atari! (Fun fact: It's not actually the first video game, contrary to popular belief! That title goes to the 1958 video game Tennis for Two.)

How I built it:

I built the game using JavaScript! I built the website with HTML and CSS.

Challenges I ran into:

Due to the fact of me being new to the language of JavaScript and still learning it as well, I ran into a considerable amount of challenges that I was able to overcome with the help of Google and my friends from BlahajGang Adam and Tiffany (THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS <3).

An example of a problem I ran into was when I was trying to figure out how to make the ball for Pong become a Blahaj. After Tiffany and Adam trying to come up with possible solutions Tiffany found one and explained it to me so I was able to code it while understanding it since I can have problems with comprehending things I find on the internet.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of:

Other than the fact that I was able to overcome a lot of challenges from being new to the language, this is the first hackathon project I was actually able to fully complete within the time slot, so I'm really proud of myself for that. :D

What I learned:

I learned a ton of JavaScript including but not limited to how to work with images, basic API, and basic basic things for the language.

What's next for BlahajPong:

I plan to add a scoring system in the future and a better website layout, although I do like the custom background I made. B)
