Welcome to the Ping Pong Game — a classic 2-player arcade game built in Python! This version brings the timeless fun of Pong to your screen using simple game logic and real-time keyboard controls. It’s a great way to learn about animation, collision detection, player input, and game loop logic in Python. GeeksforGeeks
✨ Two-Player Gameplay Compete locally with a friend — each player controls a paddle and tries to keep the ball in play!
Player 1 (left paddle): W / S
Player 2 (right paddle): Up / Down arrows GeeksforGeeks
The ball bounces off paddles and screen edges. Miss it and the other player scores! GeeksforGeeks
Scores update in real time so you always know who’s winning.
Simple visuals focused on gameplay and responsiveness.
##🛠️ How It Works
This game runs a continuous game loop that:
Draws the paddles and ball on screen
Listens for player input to move paddles
Updates ball movement based on physics
Checks for collisions with paddles and edges
Updates the score when a player misses the ball
The entire logic is handled in one script: ping pong game.py
