Pong 2

Play Game

Theo Necrason

This is strongly inspired by the arcade game “pong,” with the addition of adjustable difficulty.

Game Challenges

Setting up the system whereby the game ends when the ball hits the bottom of the screen was especially challenging.
Additionally, resetting everything after the game had ended proved to be difficult.

Game Unfinished Component

I hoped to fix an issue where the ball gets hit by the side of the paddle and goes off in the wrong direction, but didn’t have time to.

Game Next Steps

I would add multiplayer so that another player can control a different paddle.

MMU CS Overview

Mount Mansfield Union High School currently offers two Computer Science courses:

AP Computer Science Principles (CSP)
Computer Science Discoveries (CSD)

Deprecated and replaced by CSD in 2019:

Introduction to Computer Science and Principles (ICS+P)

Most years, the final four to six weeks of each of these courses is spent designing and building a game. Some students work independently while others work with a partner. In the Spring of 2020 and Fall of 2021, students did not have the time to build a game because of the covid pandemic lockdown. Their final projects for class were uploaded instead, and many of these projects are not games but are still very impressive.

Many of the games were created in Scirra's Construct 2 (Windows based) or Construct 3 (web based), although some utilized Scratch or Python or another programming language. Other students choose a project in robotics or with Arduino programming, but they did not create a stand-alone program that could be placed in this accumulation of programs.

There are several excellent games from 2014 that have not been put into the Game Table, so be sure to check them out!
