SummarySummary

Expect to successfully develop ‘Expect to successfully develop ‘Speed Speed PongPong’ by the 2’ by the 2ndnd week of December week of December

Purpose of the gamePurpose of the game – for each player – for each player to bounce a ball up or down the screen to bounce a ball up or down the screen using a paddle and score in the other using a paddle and score in the other player’s goal area; a randomly displayed player’s goal area; a randomly displayed object ‘object ‘Speed CapsuleSpeed Capsule’ will increase the ’ will increase the speed of the ball once it’s hit by the speed of the ball once it’s hit by the ball, thereby making the game more ball, thereby making the game more challengingchallenging
