This repository contains a simple implementation of the classic Pong game using p5.js. The game allows a player to play against an AI opponent in a game of Pong. Have fun! :-)

Since the "pong game challenge" is one most programmers will endeavor on at some point in their career, this code script serves as inspiration or a blueprint for getting started on making your own Pong game. You are encouraged to extend the current version of the game by adding additional features. One advantage of working within the p5.js framework is the ability to leverage its visual and interactive art capabilities. Here are a few examples of how you can extend the game:

• Power-ups: Implement power-ups that can affect the behavior of the ball, paddles, or the game environment.

• Different Ball Speeds: Add multiple balls with different speeds to increase the difficulty level and challenge the players.

• Sound Effects: Include sound effects for paddle-ball collisions, scoring points, or game events to enhance the audio experience.

• Custom Visuals: Experiment with different colors, animations, and visual effects to create a unique and visually appealing game.

• Multiplayer Mode: Modify the game to allow two players to play against each other on the same screen or over a network.

Feel free to explore and have fun with the game! Use it as a starting point and let your creativity shine. The p5.js framework provides endless possibilities for creating engaging and interactive games.

• Move the player paddle up and down using the mouse cursor.
• The objective is to hit the ball past the AI paddle and score points.
• Each time the ball goes past the AI paddle, you earn a point.
• If the ball goes past your paddle, the AI earns a point.
• The first player to reach the specified number of points wins the round.
• The game consists of multiple rounds, and the first player to win the specified number of rounds wins the game.
• After each round, the scores are reset, and a new round begins.
• Click on the game screen to restart the game once it's over.

The code consists of the following main components:

• setup() function: Initializes the game by creating the game canvas, paddles, ball, and initializing the scores and rounds won.

• draw() function: Is called continuously and handles the game logic and rendering. It updates the paddles, ball, checks for collisions, checks for out-of-bounds ball, updates the scores, and checks for game over conditions.

• displayMenu() function: Displays the game menu screen.

• displayGameOver() function: Displays the game over screen with the winner's name.

• displayScore() function: Displays the current scores of the player and AI.

• mousePressed() function: Handles the mouse click event to start the game or restart it.

• resetRound() function: Resets the game state to start a new round.

• resetGame() function: Resets the game state to start a new game.

• Paddle class: Represents a paddle in the game. It has methods to update and display the paddle.

• Ball class: Represents the ball in the game. It has methods to update and display the ball, check for collisions with paddles, check if the ball is out of bounds, and reset the ball.

This game uses the following dependency:

• p5.js: A JavaScript library for creative coding.

This game was created based on the Pong Tutorial from the p5.js website.

The original tutorial was modified and extended to add additional features such as multiple rounds, game over screen, and AI opponent.
