PongRemix

• 

  The first stage on a soccer field

  The second stage in outer space

Inspiration- Pretty much everyone has played Pong, so I thought it would be a great simple game to -re-create with my own unique twist for everyone to enjoy.

What it does- You use the up and down arrows to block the ball from reaching the red line. You are given 3 lives, and if the ball hits the red line 3 times, the game is over. The theme, music, and ball speed is constantly changing throughout.

How I built it- I built the game using Scratch.

Challenges I ran into- I had difficulty with smoothly getting the ball to bounce and recording a loss of life when it passed the paddle. The score glitches sometimes, but it is not too big of a concern because it is always in the player's favor.

Accomplishments that I am proud of- This is the first Scratch game I completed on my own with little outside resources. I was unable to find a team, so I was glad to be able to create something cool with little coding experience.

What I learned- Having a team is more fun, and they can help brainstorm solutions, but being able to complete a project on your own is important and very rewarding. Additionally, Scratch is a great easy-to-use tool that can be used to create very simple or complicated projects and games.

What's next for PongRemix- I will work on improving the game play, and maybe when I gain more programming experience, I will put PongRemix in the app store.
