Classic Pong Source Code Released

I finally got around to finish my version of Pong. It isn’t true to the original game, but resembles it somewhat in game play. This isn’t supposed to be a deep game, simply a downloadable game that you can modify in order to learn how to make a simple video game.

How to get started

You simply need to know C++ in order to start!

Download Pong - and get started right away!

So what do I do?

Simply open the project file once you extracted the files.

This will open the project in CodeBlocks. You can run the game by pressing F9. The game is also found under the bin/Release folder as an executable. If you want to give simply the game, just zip up the Release folder and you should be good!

What files to modify?

To add additional keyboard support, fonts, images, music, and more, refer to the other classes.
