Pong Game
You will be creating a simple Pong game for this assignment.
What is Pong you ask?
"Players use paddles to hit a ball back and forth on a black and white screen. Pong was the first game developed by Atari Inc., by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. Pong (marketed as PONG) is one of the earliest arcade video games, and is a tennis sports game featuring simple two-dimensional graphics."
You will create a volley of three- back and forth and back, and then three outs. (You can decide if they go back and forth). You may ricochet off the walls etc.. to make the game interesting. Add a simple score when the ball goes out of play and update it to reflect each change in the scoring.
Save and export as an animated GIF.
