MG Pong
A downloadable game
About the Game
Not much to be said other than it's my take on the classic game of Pong! You control the left paddle and the AI controls the paddle on the right. To give you a chance to score a few points, the AI starts out pretty dumb but it will get faster and more reactive with every point scored. Move the paddle up and down with the W & S keys. First to score 5 points wins the game.
Development Details
I've recently started teaching myself game development and this is the very first practice project, created with the MonoGame framework. I got into quite a mess with the code on the first attempt and I ended up scraping it and starting over! I go into full detail of all of that in my devlogs which I have posted on YouTube. Click on any of those at the the bottom of this page or visit my channel: Rheyan's Gaming.

Why two projects? See this post about abstracting common code.
