Pong

Here is a version of Pong, which I loved to play at my grandparent's house when I was a child. This game has a bit of the old look with the dotted line down the center of the board. Two numbers keep track of the score (a digital number display recycled from the previous exercise). The ball will increase in speed the longer it is in play. It also bounces off the paddles depending on where you hit the paddle.

I really wanted to put a 'boing' sound in whenever a bounce occurs. I had a hard time using the help files and previous lab information and getting that to work in the Pong game. I also wanted to be able to add another set of paddles and possibly another ball (ala Forrest Gump style), but time constraints kept me from pursuing that much further. I'll see what I can do to add these elements later (if I ever find time).
