I was trying to learn PICO-8 and needed a project so I made Pong as if it were made in the 1980s on something like a Nintendo. I'm sure its mechanics are different than <em>real</em> Pong, but I haven't played that since I had a real Atari with paddle controllers. This is from memory and it fixes a few things I remember not liking about Pong.</p> <p>I tried to make the A.I. work differently that just tracking the ball's location with some constraints to give the player a chance. Instead it predicts the future location at a couple places like a human would. As the player starts to win, the A.I. improves. That way it shouldn't be too hard to get a few points in, but winning gets a little harder. Play ends at 11. The paddles have some physics and bounce off the walls a little. </p> <p>Not award-winning, but a fun project. I enjoyed watching my daughter play!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=38537 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=38537 Tue, 23 Jun 2020 00:20:54 UTC
