Wanted to create something in Java, as I just learnt the language 2 weeks ago. Brainstormed some ideas and decided creating a game would be very beneficial, even if it is a simple one. I have always liked the game 'Pong', and took it seriously at some times when competing with my friends, so I decided that we should create a fun and competitive 'Pong' game using Netbeans IDE. It took quite a while to get it done, as the update() and repaint() functions were pretty specific. Locating the co-oridnates for the players in order to bounce the ball back took time as well, as the ball went through the player without bouncing back many times. When all of that clicked and the program managed to operate, I thought of the different game modes that should be added. It basically includes 2 games modes, Player v Computer and a Player v Player, and the player who reaches a score of 5 first wins the game. For a group that learnt programming just last year, this hackathon was a great experience for us as it is our first time to battle in such a competition.
