The Inspiration

The retro game called pong was one of my favorite games to play growing up. I played a multitude of retro games during my childhood, and this was one of my favorites to play. The simple and basic design of the game was pleasing to a lot of people including myself, and there was just something so addicting and fulfilling about the game when you beat you high-score.

The Process

I have never coded this game before, so I had a fun time understanding the mechanics and system of the game. I learned a lot during the process such creating a CPU to play against and understanding how to make it play against the user. There were many small elements of the game that did not come to mind while coding it.

Coding languages Used

For this project, I created the game using:

1. HTML
2. JavaScript
3. CSS

The Challenges

During the coding process of this game, there were a few challenges that I faced. The first challenge that I faced was figuring out how to move the user paddle with mouse movements. After doing some searching on the internet i was able to find a solution that i could implement to fix my issue. After that, the next issue I faced was with making the CPU follow the ball as well as getting the collisions to work. After lots of research and thinking, I was able to overcome these issues.
