Pong

Control Feel

An aspect that was important to nail down was the speed of the paddle. This required some tuning from feeling slow and sluggish at first, to being lighter and faster later. This had implications for difficulty that also had to be balanced.

Creative Liberty

There are a number of iterations of Pong over the new years, so finding the most authentic source sometimes proved difficult. When authenticity wasn't clear, I made choices guided by making it most appropriate for the current platform.

Code Snippet

The script for moving the AI paddle was not extremely complicated, but demonstrates some basic concepts, such as SerializeField, GetComponent at Start and basic movement.
